Re: TR6 Ball Joint Removal

Hi Chris,

When I removed mine, the vertical link was out of the car.

There is a round button or dome on the top of the threaded shaft of the 
ball joint. I looked to me like it was there to protect the threads if 
you had to hammer on it. So I held the vertical link in my hand and gave 
it a couple of raps with a carpenter's hammer. The ball joint popped 
out. It had a clean tapered joint -- no corrosion.
