Front control arms change / damper removal

Post by quest63 »

For one reason and another I need to change my drivers side front Upper control arms myself. I've found bobmans how to guide but it raises a couple of questions.

Firstly am I going to need a ball joint splitter to separate the control arms from the hub carrier?

When removing the strut from the top plate two 13mm nuts are mentioned I assume these arent holding the strut together under compression?

Cheers
