5. Using the special tool, separate the halfshaft from the wheel hub.
6. CAUTION: When the lower ball joint is separated from the wheel knuckle, the lower arm may strike the outer constant velocity (CY) joint boot
with enough force to damage the boot clamp. This will result in a loss of grease from the outer CV joint. Place a block of wood, or similar item,
between the lower arm and the outer CV joint to prevent the lower arm from striking the outer CV joint.
