Re: Lower Control Arm Ball Joints

The factory service manual shows three proprietary GM tool #’s, consisting of a large C-clamp, a special bolt on the top of the C-clamp, and a sleeve that holds the end of the bolt centered over the ball joint. Presses on top of the joint, forces it out the bottom the A-arm.

If you don’t have a factory service manual, you can download one:
