amfq120 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Replaced the upper ball joints on my 94 pathfinder, very easy. The lower ball joints though can't be taken out without the cv joint be moved out of the way, which requires the hub to be separated from the cv joint. I cannot get the allen wrench bolts loose for the life of me. All of them too. Any advice? I'm going to try to warm up the hub and then try to loosen it tomorrow. I dont' want to cut or grind them off because I don't want to spend more money on the IFS BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Are they stripped or you just can't loosen them? Id recommend a 6mm Allen socket with a breaker bar if you aren't already using that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I used a hammer to tap the auto hub bolts loose on my 94 (probably not the best method.... now that i think of it) only problem i had was when i installed my manual hubs i was unware the hub bolts were different! :O so i snapped two allen bolts off... something about how they seat. ha.

JamesRich Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I would use an allen head socket on a hammer impact driver. The kind you hit with a hammer like this. http://www.ehow.com/how_4809810_use-hand-impact-driver.html James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
