Suspension Tear Down: Step 5 -Popping the Upper and Lower Ball Joints

Time to make use of that nifty ball joint separator again. We need to pop both the upper and lower ball joints.

They also make a quite satisfying KUPUNG! noise when they cut loose that’s loud enough to frighten the wee out of small children.
