So I'm changing out the front suspension parts on the X

6 point socket for bolts will make your life easier. But ball joints are PITA no doubt if you live northeast of course.

That's what I think I will have to do to remove that Lower ball Joint. But it looks like he pushed out his axle to make room.

Wow, I wonder if you can get aircraft anti-sieze for the new bolts.

I have zero rust... Although I have to remove parts, panels, etc. and use a shop-vac since sand is in everything, hell I end up with 1/4" - 1/2" on the engine cover.
