I've done both of these jobs today and thought I'd post back in case anyone finds this thread in the future when thinking of doing the same. | |

Just take the bolts out for the lower ball joint and hammer it out of the hub, bit rough but it works | |

They are as you said, but that doesn't mean it's gonna come out of the hub easy. | |

Are you talking about the lower balljoint or a track rod end? lower balljoint you will be ok but if your changing a track rod end you might as well have a garage do it because as Phil says you will have to get the tracking set afterwards anyway | |

worst problem is freeing the clip holding cv joint on once you pop that off it just slides out. but it gets very messy from the grease. | |

The nearside CV joint on my wife's 14XE CDX has started banging when reversing on full lock so I think its time it was changed. |
