Default Need to remove hub -- need ball joint remover
Has anyone bought a ball joint remover that works with this car? I've heard that a lot of the ones on the market damage the s2k's boots and thats something I don't want to replace.

I remember using a tool that billman had for removing the ball joint...Billman, do you have a link on where to buy the tool you use?



Thanks

i used a pitman puller from autozone that i used to get the ball joint off. It didn't come close to touching the boots.

Question, will that be able to remove the top ball joint as well? Seems like a hard space to fit it into...

i havent tried it on the top one as all i had to do was remove the diff and that dictated dropping the lower control arm.
