Driveshaft Removal

  1. Remove the cotter pin (A) from the knuckle ball joint, and remove the castle nut (B), then separate the ball joint from the lower arm (C) using the ball joint remover.
    NOTE:
    • Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the remover.
    • Do not force or hammer on the lower arm, or pry between the lower arm and the knuckle. You could damage the ball joint.
