Lower Balljoint on Pajero Mk2 2.8 TD

(1/2) > >>

Evilgoat:
My father is trying to seperate the above item plus remove the pitman arm and idler assembly as the nice MOT man said they were junk.
I know nothing about Mitsi's so I dont know how correct this is :)

Haynes manual says they should just pop off, but obviously this means using the kind of force needed to lug a tank into orbit. A balljoint spiltter isnt helping as they are awkward to get at.

Anyone have any ideas?

Mutz:
To remove the bottom ball joints,Think it is the same as the same as the 2.5, awkward job but you will have to remove steering ball joints, top ball joints and brake calipers.
Dont try to do it without removing the others it wont work.
You need a ball joint seperator that wont damage the gaitors as well, it is fairly straight forward.
good luck

P.S. if your Father checks on the Pajero owners club he will find all the info he will need. www.pocuk.com

J B:
to remove the pitman arm, make a vertical cut with an angle grinder, but dont go too far with it as not to cut the spline, it should then lever off

Mutz:
let us know how you get on mate.Or if you need any more info.

Evilgoat:
Pitman arm took :

Balljoint puller.
Hammer
Balljoint puller + Blowlamp
Balljoint puller plus blowlamp then frozen
Hacksaw
And finally industrial angle grinder. I'll post a pic of whats left later

Now we have separated the lower balljoint but for the life of us we cant work out how to get the sod out without dissasembling the whole hub carrier, problem being the top balljoint will probobly be destroyed removing it.

Any ideas guys?

I'm actually now about 10 mins from giving up. Haynes say pull the driveshaft and that just isnt going to happen.

Doing drivers side atm, not got as far as passenger.
