Re: HOW do you remove spindles and control arms
Replacing ball joints= PICKLE FORK
Reusing original ball joints= BFH A pickle fork will tear the ball joint rubber grease boots. Don't use it unless you plan to change ball joints.

I don't use a pickle fork ever.....Don't even own one. If you have one that is really bad, hold another hammer against the opposite side of the spindle when you strike it. Don't swing the second hammer, just hold it against the side of the spindle near the ball-joint stud.

Re: HOW do you remove spindles and control arms
Advance Auto and some others have a HELP section. They sell replacement grease boots. I'm sure NAPA carries them too.
