OK heres my problem.. my a-arms should be here monday or tuesday, i'm supposed to go to silver lake on thursday. I'm going to put my brake lines on today and bleed them so i don't have to deal with it later. MY problem is do i just used a tie rod fork to break the ball joints apart or is there a little secret to it. I'm going to be in a hurry so the fastest way possible would be the best for me. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

if your not worried about tearing the boots up on your stock a-arm ball joints a pickle fork will work in a pinch..

before you do that put a socket between the nuts on the upper and lower balljoints, use a some washers or whatever to make it a tight fit...

back the nut off the upper-ball joint (so it's pusing against the socket) and it'll pop the joint loose from the spindle, then do the same thing on the lower joint, and your done.. the nice part is it doesn't hurt the boots so you can sell your stock arms if you'd like..
