Question How Do You.....?

How do you remove seat from the stock ball joint on the OEM control arms?


I'm trying to install my SPC front camber arms, and I need this seat.


See Step 6 and step 9.

+1 thats what I did. Much easier than trying to get the old ball joint seats out from the upper control arms.

I did the same and updated my DIY thread to indicate that. Just plan ahead because my Nissan dealer didn't have them in stock and it took 3 days to get them in. The Infiniti parts guy was a moron ans said I couldn't buy them separately and that they were on the a-arm only.
