If you are talking stock arms, they are not removable. Correct me if i'm wrong tho:(

Anything is removeable if you want it to be :devil: . But no the stock 450R balljoints are not removeable.

I'm telling you, there is no possible way of salvaging the a-arms if ya remove the ball joints. They are sealed in there. Look at getting some aftermarket ones.....there are cheap ones out there that hold up well.
