I'd like to do the job but reluctant to take everything off (though I did the rotor change before. I like to know if this is possible (leave everything on) and procedure. I guess I should do the following:

1. Compress the spring ( is this necessary? )but not touch the shock absorber.

2. take off the tie rod end arm.

3. Put a stand jack under and take off the low control arm off the ball joint.

4. push off the ball joint ( I don't know if I can use the c- clamp tool

5. Use the C- Clamp to push the new ball joint in.


Any comments on the procedeure?
