ABSTRACT:
A ball joint removal fixture for supporting an automotive suspension spindle below a press during removal of a ball joint includes an attachment member for attachment to the spindle. The attachment member has multiple attachment points for interconnection with the spindle and at least three of the attachment points occupy and define an attachment plane. The fixture also includes a pair of support members supporting the attachment member. The support members occupy and define a support plane which forms a support angle with the attachment plane. The support angle is chosen such that when the support plane is horizontal, the central axis of a bore in the spindle occupied by the ball joint is vertical.
