Bottom ball joints

[Lincs Mav]

Got to do the bottom ball joints on the Mav soon. Is there anyway of doing them without taking all the hub etc off?

Cheers Gav

Yes mate, just support the bottom arm with a small jack. undo the bottom ball nut then support the hub . Undo the nuts and bish bosh :thumbs

Having just done the top one, the lower one looks easier as you can get a full socket set on the nut, and a long breaker bar, as at best you can only get an open ended spanner on the top one, unless you remove the driveshaft from the hub.
