    Removing Front Lower Suspension Arms

    I am not having much joy with removing the ball joint end, made a puller and with a little heat eventually got one side off. However having no luck with the other side. Anyone have a special method ?
    Mine is an 02 with original arms I doubt it has ever been removed.

    Finally got it off, combination of pressure from puller, heat, and many hits with hammer.
    When I examined the lower arms they were both in good cond, I really should have just replaced the Uppers (rear) as these were totally shot at the bush or inner end. Hope the new ones are a bit tougher.
    If anyone at or near Geelong needs a puller for the ball end of the lower arms they are welcome to borrow mine. However I recommend a close check before removing as I suspect the main culprit is the upper arms when noise is heard at the front.
