Place the lower arm in a vise, then drill out the heads of the three rivets that secure the ball joint to the lower arm. Drilling requires a 12.0 mm drill.
If necessary, knock out the rivets from the lower arm, then remove the ball joint.
The new ball joint is installed using three special bolts, washers and spring nuts, which are available from dealers.
The ball joint must be correctly positioned; make sure that the nuts are installed on the underside of the lower arm.
Tighten the lower arm and ball joint nuts as required.
