Rear toe arm question
So I'm having some trouble removing my toe arm to install an adjustable one. My problem is how do you remove the part closest to the hub? Is it on a stud or does the bolt simply pop out?

Im not sure what part you are planning on replacing it with but I'd try and salvage the boot if possible.
See if you can get a ball joint separator in there. Is there a Harbor Frieght near you? If not buy yourself a nut that fits on there and get out your hammer and start hitting it. The nut will salvage the treads and itll eventually pop out.

I put the nut over the balljoint and whacked it with a sledge hammer... in the process screwed up 3 threads, fixed threads and put the arm back in with the bump steer kit. If I had to do it again.. grab a jack and a block of wood, jack the wood onto the balljoint and pop it out that way. Or the smart way which is grabbing a balljoint remover.

I bought this and popped out all 3 control arms in the rear knuckle on both sides. As long as you put the nut back on without going all the way down, it will pop and you can take it out. Using this with an impact makes your world much easier. I think it took me 10 min to remove the knuckle. No need to rent when these things are cheap.

If you need a video on how it works.
