Hi guys , i'm trying to change the front lower control arm with the GT3 adjustable one, but i'm having a big problem and i don't know how to solve it.
No problem to unscrew it from the cross member and no problem to unscrew it from the wishbone but after i have unscrewed the last bolt (the bolt that fix the control arm under the wheel hub) the screw of the control arm doesn't exit from the hub.
How can i solve this problem ... maybe a hummer (i tried but nothing to do) ... or maybe there's an easy way under my eyes but i can't see it !
I hope that my question is clear, i know that many words are not correct but they are too technical for my basic english !
Thank you

 

I've attached below a couple of pages from the manual. You need a special tool to extract the ball joint from the hub as shown. Hope this helps.

PS - Your english was fine, except "martello = hammer" and "hummer = un pompino"

 

Great, now i know that with a "hummer" probably i would get a very happy car and with a hammer a broken ball joint.
I need an extractor ... i hope to find something similar !

Thank you FastFwd ... great support !!!

 

These are a pita. Soak it with rust penetrator overnight. Than if you want to disregard the control arm, I recomment a few hits from an airhammerfrom the top or a good old $9 balljoint seperator from vato zone.
