  Q: How to remove the front lower ball joint on Scion xB?

  A: Start the front lower ball joint removal process by taking off the front wheel followed by the front axle hub nut. The next step requires disconnection of the front Speed Sensor combined with tie rod end sub-assembly and front disc brake caliper assembly. The process requires the removal of front disc followed by disassembling the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly. You should remove the front axle assembly before fixing it into a vise while avoiding excessive tightening force. Special Service Tool 09960-20010 requires installation on the front lower ball joint after you remove the cotter pin and nut. Before the removal of the front axle assembly check that the Special Service Tool: 09960-20010 shows 1 mm (0.04 in.) clearance at its point to the front axle assembly. Special Service Tool: 09960-20010 09961-02010 should be used to remove the front lower ball joint from the front axle assembly when it is installed with A and B parallel to each other and the wrench positioned on the specified part without damaging the front lower ball joint dust cover.
