Ball joint remover, 28 mm 07MAC-SL0A202

Always use a ball joint remover to disconnect a ball
joint. Do not strike the housing or any other part of
the ball joint connection to disconnect it.

1. Install a hex nut (A) onto the threads of the ball joint

(B). Make sure the nut is flush with the ball joint pin
end to prevent damage to the thread end of the ball
joint pin.

2. Apply grease to the special tool on the areas shown

(A). This will ease installation of the tool and
prevent damage to the pressure bolt (B) threads.

3. Install the special tool as shown. Insert the jaws

carefully, making sure not to damage the ball joint
boot. Adjust the jaw spacing by turning the
pressure bolt (A).

NOTE: Fasten the safety chain (B) securely to a
suspension arm or the subframe (C). Do not fasten
it to a brake line or wire harness.

4. After adjusting the adjusting bolt, make sure the

head of the adjusting bolt (D) is in the position
shown to allow the jaw (E) to pivot.

5. With a wrench, tighten the pressure bolt until the

ball joint pin pops loose from the ball joint pin hole.
If necessary, apply penetrating type lubricant to
loosen the ball joint pin.

NOTE: Do not use pneumatic or electric tools on
the pressure bolt.

6. Remove the tool, then remove the nut from the end

of the ball joint pin, and pull the ball joint out of the
ball joint pin hole. Inspect the ball joint boot, and
replace it if damaged.
