A-Arm Removal

[loc_mon]

I know this has been discussed many times on here, but I still need help.

Any suggestions on getting that A-Arm off?

What exactly are you having trouble with? Are the ball joints stuck in the spindle?

[loc_mon]

Yes, I got the pin out and the nut off.

Rap on the sides of the spindle lightly with a brass hammer while putting pressure on the a-arm. It should pop out after a while. If it doesn't then a ball joint splitter tool from an auto parts store will do the trick. You can also use a ball joint splitter fork to get it out but that ususally ends up ripping the dust boots.

What he said ^^^ about hitting the spindle. If that does not work put the nuts back on and find something that fits tightly between them and back off one nut against the piece you just put in until it pops out. Do the same to the remaining ball joint except put the piece between the spindle and the nut. Then if it still doesn't come off look for a pickle fork but you might tear your boots.
