A-Arms
I know the manual calls for a special tool to take off the A-Arms but i wanted to know if there is any other way to do so?
Thanks

LOL juice your bad :D ...he might be talking about the tie rod ends....will have to wait and see.....

Lol thats what I meant.. Anyways - I never used the "special" tool for it. I just removed the bottom ones first and turned the hub towards me and carefully used a punch and hammer to get it out. It worked, and Didnt break anything. Just an Idea

Yeah its the bail joints. I have the arms off now I just need to remove the knuckle.

The upper ball joints are held in with a snap ring. Remove the snap ring and tap them out with a hammer. The lowers are not removable. BUT, do a search in this forum on Project Z. I did a write up on it a few years ago on how to modify the lowers to be able to replacce them. This will save you some dough, rather than buying new lower arms

I tore the rubber boot around the knuckle i just need to replace that.I am having the arms and frame powder coated.
