How to remove the lower arm components completely?

The method is to remove the entire component connected to the lower arm components: rubber bush, middle handle and the car ball joint.

The steps are as below:

1. Loosen the three nuts attached to rubber bush and joint.

2. Take out the joint pin.

3. Use the car jack to make the arm stand still while you loosen up the screws.

4. Take out the auto ball joint bolt.

5. Use a 1 kg hammer to knock the ball joint from wheel component.

6. Take out the 2 rubber bush bolt.

7. Remove the bolt together with the lower arm.

8. Use the hydraulic pump to remove the car ball joint.

9. Replace the rubber bush, middle connection bush and joint with new units.

10. Use a small hammer to install the lower control arm.

11. Tighten up the connection nut and pin.

The advantage of using the above method is the reduction in hours taken to remove and replace the arm components.

However, there are disadvantages in using this method. You will need two main tools to complete the process of changing the arm components: a hydraulic pump and small car jacks. These items can only be found at a car garage or workshops. It takes hard work and a huge amount of cash to complete the DIY process.

Noted that the above method is much more recommended for those who deals with automotive on regular and consistent basis (example: foreman or a professional mechanic).
