Removing Top Ball Joints

[Davrianman]

I'm just adjusting my Camber on the front suspension and I am having a really hard time getting the top ball joints off to adjust them. Managed to get one off using a steel chisel as a wedge, but the other side won't budge.

Is there a technique for removing them easily? Car hasn't even been on the road yet and they have also been greased during assembly.... Don't fancy trying to remove them again in 5 years time!

Cheers,

How about this as an alternative to the existing setup?



Is there any reason why it would not work? Moding the wish bones will not be easy, but you could make a jig to re-position them correctly...

What do you think?

I was thinking of using wirelock to secure the nuts. I have seen this setup on race cars, and it seems to work ok...

Lee you have PM.
