Default Please help me! ASAP!

As we speak im trying to put in a camber kit. I have a 99 Civic SI. I already removed the 2 bolts from the inside of the engine bay. There is one bolt that connects to the ball joint and goes through the A arm. How does that come out? It aint budging and the nut is already off. please help me out here.

Is that pressed in the a arm at all or does it just set it there and become stuck after driving a while again.?

are you talking about the lower one near the bottom of the brake rotor? if you are then its not pressed on get a ball joint splitter and give it a good whack.but be careful not to tear the rubber boot.

Any time I have to pop an upper balljoint, I usually end up tearing the boot with the fork splitter. I always have a few spare ones lying around for those occasions.

on the U shaped thing (camber kit).. its that bolt thats connected to the ball joint. THere are 2 bolts that connect through the inside of the engine then that one that connect directly to the A arm. Not the bottom of the rotor. I cannot get that bastard to budge. SO a fork huh?
