- Loosen the front wheel lug nuts slightly, then lift the vehicle with a floor jack and support securely on jack stands.
- Remove the front wheel to access the suspension components.

- Remove the cotter pin and castle nut (or retaining nut) securing the ball joint stud to the steering knuckle.
- Disconnect any sensors or sway bar links that obstruct removal (if applicable).
- Separate the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle using a ball joint separator or press. Take care not to damage surrounding components.
