[Shotimes] RE: CV halfshaft replacement

[Paul L Fisher]

What I did was put a jack stand on the studs and then dropped the car. That
compressed the strut and the ball joint eventually popped out. I assume this
is on a Gen 1 or 2 and the ball joint is on the LCA and not the knuckle like
on the Gen 3's?

I have reviewed the replacement strategy as outlined in the Helms manual. Am
having some difficulty getting the lower ball joint out of the hub assembly.
For some reason, I can't seem to get the control arm to go low enough to
clear. Any suggestions or hints? I have the car up on jacks and the
wheel/tire assemblies and axle nuts are removed.
