Loosen and tighten the wheel mounting bolts only with the vehicle on the ground. The tightening torque of the bolts is 65–95 N·m (6.5–9.5 kgf·m).
1. Raise and support the front of the vehicle. Remove the wheel.
2. Loosen the ball joint mounting nut.
3. Press the ball joint pin out of the arm using a puller.
Note: Suspension arm ball joint puller.
4. If there is no puller, do not unscrew the nut completely. Press the lever with a crowbar and press the hinge pin out of the lever by hammering it along the axis of the lever. After that, completely unscrew the nut.
5. Remove the two bolts securing the ball joint to the steering knuckle.

6. Press the lever down and remove the ball joint.
7. Before installation, lubricate the hinge and the inner cavity of the cover with consistent grease.
8. Install the ball joint in the reverse order of removal. Lower the car to the ground and rock it vigorously several times. Tighten to the appropriate torques: the ball joint-to-lever nut – 80–96 N·m (8.0–9.6 kgf·m), the ball joint-to-steering knuckle nut – 50–63 N·m (5.0–6.3 kgf·m). After driving 100 km, tighten these threaded connections again to the required torques.
When installing, do not damage the ball joint protective cover. If the cover is damaged, be sure to replace it.
