If you back the ball joint nut off but don't take it all the way off, and then use the pickle fork without the jack supporting the control arm, the spring tention will help break the ball joint loose. Then put the jack under the control arm remove ball joint nut and lower control arm untill the spring can be removed. You can always put a chain around the spring for safety.

Thanks for sharing that seems pretty straight forward!

Taking it out is the easy part and also the least dangerous, putting it back in not so much.

Can you come do mine

Thnx Bubba

Jesus, how long is this going to take!

Bbl why would the backwoods on the back wheels for the back of the pickup

Pickle fork, no go. Jack under it is putting pressure on what your trying to get apart. Title should be how to do it the hard way.....

I am learning from you.

“Uuhhh.....C’mon belly...let’s go talk about this again while I work up the nerves to take that nut all the way off “

11 minutes just to take a bolt out

What would cause the lower control arm to not drop down? Im trying to replace them but lower control wont drop down like yours. I appreciate any help. Thank you
