Volvo: ball joint, bolt holes, hammer tool


Question
What is the proper way to change the ball joint, Volvo S60. As I understand, I have to take the nuts from the arm and the two screw from the ball joint. Will I be able after that to take out the ball joint? Thanks

Answer
Mariusz,
Remove the nut that secures it to the lower control arm and or move the arm out of the way. Remove the bolts holding the ball joing and with the slide hammer tool pull it out. Insert the ball joint with the press tool jig hammer into place lining up the bolt holes and replace the bolts and connection at the control arm.
