And **** ain't goin' well. Well, it was okay until I found out I need the tapered sleeve from the OEM arm to slap onto the SPC arm. I can't get that sumbitch off. And I pretty much ****ed up the OEM joint in the process; It's oozing. So, here I am. At home. I need a tapered sleeve! I have no 2nd car to take anywhere. And no friends.

Is it safe/possible to drive on it without the tapered sleeve (just the ball joint sitting there)?

wut do

 

omg that horrible :/

3.....2.....1.....heres Gary

 

Don't drive.

That tapered sleeve needs to be pressed out. or buy a new one.

 

Tips on getting it off? cuz it's nuts.

And ordering new ones will take days, and even if somewhere has it in stock... I can't drive

 

Well, unless the OEM one is still functional... It's oozing out the liquids from the ball joint >___>

 

I used a small bearing separator like this (not a G35 A-arm, but you should get the idea)




or read this thread for idea's.

The SPC has a new ball joint (red) so don't worry about the OEM one, good luck.

 

Thanks for your time, citymunky. It's nice to have the proper tools. But looks like I'm ****ed lol

I guess I'll have to find a way to hitch a ride to a dealership that has it in stock huh? Just hope somewhere near has it...

Thanks again.

 

Hitch a ride to autozone and rent a small bearing puller. It's a $50 deposit, 100% refundable upon return. That's how I got mine off. Next time research the required tools before you start a project. You never kbow what youre gonna need.

 

That's what my buddy and i used. Popped right off

 

Thanks x9999. Renting one from Autozone and worked.

Camber kit installed; front still rubbing like a bitch though >:l

 

glad you got it resolved. Dont' forget the alignment

 

Yes thank you

 

Your thanks.....



Glad it worked out!
