Rob Strom Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 My 2007 Focus Zetec requires an engine. I've taken front end off to make life easier, but struggling with drive shaft removal. Thought by undoing bottom ball joints I'd have enough clearance to prize them out, but ball joints don't want to lever off. Do I need to loosen the hub nuts and whack them in to give me the clearance? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The ball joints can often be quite tricky to remove but they will go. Get a bigger lever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Strom Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for your replies-well a couple were helpful! Tried again today and they levered off no trouble. Now just got to locate an engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
