Removing spindle from control arm Reply #1 – February 06, 2012, 08:48:28 PM do you have the 'large' fork? i have a smaller 1 that's supposed to be for tie-rods.. works great for smaller balljoints Quote Selected
Removing spindle from control arm Reply #2 – February 06, 2012, 08:54:42 PM If everything is out of the car (it sounds like it is), loosen the ball-joint nut, hold the assy up by the spindle, and whack the spindle area around the ball-joint stud (Not the stud itself). It will pop loose. Quote Selected
