How to service and repair the lower ball joint on 2003 Toyota Tacoma?

Begin the lower ball joint service process by taking off the front wheel while torquing it to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). The first step to disconnect the tie rod end involves unfastening its 4 bolts using 80 Nm (820 kgf-cm, 59 ft. lbs.) torque while leaving them in place. After that, use a torque wrench to remove the tie rod end nut and cotter pin at 90 Nm (930 kgf-cm, 67 ft. lbs.) before setting the nut to a torque angle of 60 degrees for correct alignment of the pin holes when necessary. The tie rod end disconnection from the steering knuckle requires the Special Service Tool: 09610-20012. The procedure for the lower ball joint entails removing its cotter pin and nut while using 140 Nm (1,450 kgf-cm, 103 ft. lbs.) torque before setting the nut at a further 60 degrees if the cotter pin holes are misaligned. The lower ball joint disconnection from the lower suspension arm needs Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 which must position the cotter pin hole to face forward for reinstallation. Using Special Service Tool 09628-62011 you must disconnect the lower ball joint from the lower suspension arm so you can later extract the lower ball joint by lifting the upper suspension arm and steering knuckle while securing them for support during removal. The ball joint stud's rotation condition should be checked by moving it 5 times backward and forward before installing the nut using a torque wrench covering a single continuous turn from 2 to 4 seconds which should yield readings between 0.1 and 2.5 Nm (1 to 25 kgf-cm, 1 to 22 inch lbs.). Install the components the opposite way removal occurred while wheel alignment testing should happen post-installation.
