Awesome trick shaggy! It saved my day. Thanks!
I started the job of removing many parts under my van yesterday and was wondering
how to remove my lower control arms and so on.. and with the lockdown, even ordering
some tools I should have wait one week.
No tool, no wait, no money
I hopefully found the pictures in google's cache and saved them to put them back in the thread
as they seem to have been lost.
It worked perfectly on the passenger side. On the driver side, the ball joint was so stuck that
when I lowered the jack, nothing happened and the lower control arm just didn't go all the way down,
it stopped in the middle. I tried 2 times.
I actually had to hit the head of the ball joint, next to nut, and I finally heard a nice "clank"
