- Spray mounting fasteners with penetrating oil to aid removal.
- Remove any components obstructing access to the lower ball joint (stabilizer link, brake caliper if required—hang caliper to avoid stress on hose).

- Unbolt the lower control arm or the ball joint mounting bolts per vehicle design and press or drive out the old ball joint using a ball joint press or suitable tool.
- Clean the mounting area, align and install the new ball joint into the lower control arm. Press or bolt the ball joint into place per the part’s orientation.
