be cut before attempting to remove the ball joint.

6, 7, or 8), and position it under the vehicle ball joint refer to Figure 3.
2. Tighten the forcing screw until the receiving tube contacts the control arm. Check the alignment of all tooling and
components, and continue tightening the forcing screw until the ball joint is removed.
