Hey ,
Im trying to get the lower control arm off to get my axles out.
( So I can spin the knuckle )
Using this source:
2GNT.com - Changing_an_Axle_2
First of all the bolts are rusted welded there . Is there any trick to take these off. Or an easier way to get the axles out? So I can take the engine out ? I had to cut a bolt, Its seems stuck in the metal sleeve. I used a pry bar on both sides of the suspension fork, the bolt is stuck there. I tried hammering the sh!t out of it, PB Blast, etc.
If I heat it , the bushing inside the control arm will prob melt , or those replacable or must you get a new control arm.
Any advice ?
One more thing. Can I change the ball joint without getting a new lower control arm ?
