7. Install a 12 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Be sure
that the hex nut is flush with the ball joint pin end to
prevent damage to the threaded end of the ball
joint.
8. Use the ball joint remover, 07MAC —SL00200 (28
mm), as shown.
Insert the jaws carefully, making sure you do not
damage the ball joint boot. Adjust the jaw spacing
by turning the pressure bolt.
NOTE: If necessary, apply penetrating type lubri-
cant to loosen the ball joint.
PRESSURE BOLT
Apply grease here.
NOTE: Use the ball joint removers, 07MAC-SL00100
(32 mm) and 07MAC —SL00200 (28 mm), to separate
the ball joints from the suspension or steering arm.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot. Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specifica-
tion, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot
with the pin hole. Do not align the nut by loosening.
4. Clean any dirt or grease off the ball joint. 5. Remove the cotter pin from the steering arm and remove the nut.
6. Apply grease to the special tool on the areas shown. This will ease installation of the tool andprevent damage to the pressure bolt threads.ProCarManuals.com
