Just wondering if anyone had any idea what I need to do to finish getting this lower ball joint out? I have read thru the thread that WillV posted Link but mine seems a little different. I have a 1998 Honda passport 4x4. Everything was the same till I got to the lower ball joint where you un bolt it from the control arm. Mine seems to slide in between the lower part of the arm and the bolts go down through it. Another words the bolt first goes through the control arm then threw the ball joint and then threw the control arm again. I hope that makes sense. It seems that I will have to remove the whole steering knuckle with the ball joints attached then remove the ball joints on my bench. Here are a few pics

Any help would be great. Just wanted to also thank everyone for this forum. I have been reading for about a week and because of this forum I built my confidence to tackle this job. I have never changed a ball joint before. This is a great resource. If you need more pics I can take them.
