The easiest way to remove and reinstall my CV axles, lower ball joints, and inner and outer tie rods. All new parts. Also is there anyway to get the lower ball joints to release without having to remove the control arm? Not replacing the control arm. If anyone could please help me. Thank you for your time.

Okay. Well, sorry for the confusion guys. I read down further an seen about the lower ball joints. I was able to get it to come loose, lol. But now what would be the best way to pursue an tackle the rest of this project? As far still got axle and inner and outer tie rod to get loose.

Maybe getting some pictures will help with this but I attached the info from the manual below on how to replace the axle and tie rods.

Here is a guide that will help with this as well:

Let us know if you can get some pictures of what you are dealing with and that will help with this.

Thanks
