How does this thing come off?
This is the lower ball joint. I need the WHOLE thing to come out of the knuckle so I can replace it. The bottom threads are BAD!
Here is a picture:
It is number [3] in that picture.
THANKS!

The lower ball joint has to be pressed out. You will need a machine press to do it. Any shop that can replace wheel bearings can usually press out the old ball joint and press in the new one.

remove the c clip - (on some models) and then rent a ball joint kit from Autozone or Trak Auto (in NVA area) - took me about 20 minutes each side.
