Re: Need help with axle

["Craig Williams" <roccolister@hotmail.com>]

You can make the room two ways...

1) Unbolt the three bolts that hold the ball joint to the a-arm , and swing
the strut assembly away to make the room.

2) Unbolt the pivot bolt from the front of the a-arm and bang the a-arm out
of it's front mount.

I prefer the first one as it makes A LOT of room. It's a little tricky to
get it back in sometimes, so clean all the grease and road grime away.

Good Luck -- Craig Williams
