   1. Remove the clip and nut.
   2. Install SST (attachment) onto the front lower ball joint assembly LH so that there is a space of approximately 2 mm (0.0787 in.) between the arm and attachment.
      • SST: 09628-50010 
        1. 09628-05010
      NOTE:

      • Be sure to install SST (attachment) in order to prevent damage to the front lower ball joint assembly LH stud.
      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 2 mm (0.0787 in.) or less.
   3. Using SST, disconnect the front lower ball joint assembly LH from the front lower suspension arm assembly LH.
      • SST: 09628-50010 
        1. 09628-05010
      NOTE:

      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.
      • Do not damage the dust cover of the front lower ball joint assembly LH.
      • Make sure that the bolt of SST and the front lower ball joint assembly LH are in a straight line when installing SST.
      • Be sure to tie the string of SST to the vehicle to prevent SST from dropping.
      • Do not apply a torque of 160 N.m (1631 kgf/cm, 118 ft.lbf) or more to SST as it may be damaged.
