    Removing Ball Joints From Spindles

    Method 1; remove the cotter pins, and put a socket between the joints (see attached picture) back one of the nuts off until it pushes the ball-joint stud out of the arm.. you may have to use some washers to take up the space between the nuts and socket..
    You know the world is going crazy when France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war.

    method 2 (aka the lazy man's way )

    just take a hammer and give the spindles a few sharp blows (not super hard, they are aluminum remember!) right on the red dots, should be enough to break the taper-lock between the spindle and ball-joint stud..
