Any Guides out there for Ball Joint or End Link Installation?

[davemarco]

Im looking to install a set of Whiteline front sway bar endlinks and the Hard Race lower ball joints. It will be my first go at this - are there any Guides out there for these?

Hey! I just got my hardrace lower ball joints replaced. The easiest way was to loosen the axle nut on the rotor and hammer the axle so that the rotor and caliper assembly pushes out towards you. Then loosen the three bolts holding the lower ball joint in place, a pry bar will help at this moment.

Do I need to remove brake calipers, rotors to rotate the backing plate for those ball joints bolts to sit in correctly??

With my previous endlink installations it was key to have the suspension loaded, not unloaded, when installing.
