You can also use Special Tool 9168 Ball Joint Puller (2) to press out and remove the upper ball joint stud from the lower control arm. Wash the ball joint tapered bolt and the hole in the steering knuckle, then put the lower ball joint into the steering knuckle and control arm using the bolt and fasteners. Tighten the one nut (1) and then the other (2) by turning them to 105 Nm (77 ft. lbs.).
