If you read the manuals and some blogs, they all say you need to remove the upper control arm ..... not so .... go to auto zone and rent the "balljoint press" .... its a heafty "C" clamp with spacer rings and end plates that allow removal of the upper joint on the vehicle ....careful with the inner fender clearance, it just makes it .... removing the control arm creates problems with the control arm cams,...... do it this way, it works ....... AutoZone deposit on the tool is $120, but returned upon return ...a good service.
