Thanks for the procedure for the ball joint (everybody). Once I get everything reattached I will report my success or failure.  |
The bolt goes through a notch (often known as a "keyway") in the ball joint. It won't go anywhere with that bolt there. I'll try and track down the ford service manual procedure (that actually specifies the pry bar placement a few of us mentioned already) and post it here.
