You will need a special tool commonly called a "pickle fork" then follow the following steps: 1. Remove Tire and Wheel Assembly. 2. Remove Brake Rotor. (Refer to a Haynes manual for specific instructions) 3. Remove old cotter pin on the castellated nut which is located on the bottom of your ball joint. 4. Remove Castellated nut. 5. Using a ball peen hammer and the pickle fork, pry apart the ball joint from the arm. It should pop out fairly easily, but sometimes they might need a little "encouragement" 6. Clean the area for re-installation 7. Installation is the reverse of removal (using a new cotter pin and castellated nut)
