CAUTION: Upon removing the knuckle from the ball joint stud, do not pull outward on the knuckle. Pulling the knuckle outward at this point
can separate the inner C/V joint on the halfshaft thus damaging it.
CAUTION: Use care when separating the ball joint stud (4) from the knuckle (1), so the ball joint seal does not get cut.
6. Using an appropriate prying tool (2), separate the ball joint stud (4) from the knuckle (1) by prying down on lower control arm (3) and up against
the ball joint boss on the knuckle.
7. If the right lower control arm is being serviced, remove the one fastener (2) securing the wheel house splash shield (1) to the drive belt splash
shield (3).
