Service and repair of the ball joint begins by removing the front wheel while tightening it to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). You should lift the lower suspension arm with a jack while you disconnect the tie rod end by easing the 2 lower ball joint set bolts to 160 Nm (1,600 kgf-cm, 116 ft. lbs.) without taking them off. Proceed with carrying out the removal process by completing the following steps: first remove the cotter pin along with the nut which needs to reach 72 Nm (730 kgf-cm, 53 ft. lbs.) torque but if the cotter pin holes become misaligned during installation tighten the nut an additional 60 degrees The Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 should be used for tie rod end breaking. To detach the lower ball joint you should first remove its cotter pin followed by loosening the nut to 110 Nm (1,100 kgf-cm, 80 ft. lbs.). Continue to tighten the nut beyond 60 degrees if needed. Special Service Tool: 09628-062011 enables lower ball joint disconnection before removing the nut, 2 bolts, and ball joint assembly. To check the lower ball joint rotation condition you should flip the ball joint stud 5 times before tightening the nut using a torque wrench on the 5th turn with a time span of 2 - 4 seconds until it reaches 0.1 - 3.45 Nm (1 - 35 kgf-cm, 0.8 - 30 inch lbs.). The procedures for installation proceed by relocating parts in the order opposite to removal.
