Tools needed after control arm removal:
needle nose pliers
big hammer

Instructions:
-remove retaining wire for boot (looks like a spring in the pic)
-remove the boot
-remove the snap ring
-set arm upside down over a vice so the ball joint may fall through the jaws
-hit it really really hard

Then replace with your favorite brand. The one pictured is offset to correct for camber (up to 1*)

bump, because there was a big debate about this being possable or not, and it is.

 

Anything is possible with a BFH!

It's only possible on the 90-91, not the 88-89 because the upper joint is not removable.

Nice little write up

 

Good info, nice to see a worthy post in this forum. I love our EF's but sometimes this forum is just full of crap. Nice writeup.
