I can send you an email of how it's done. Much easier than the explanation I'd give. It uses a jamb nut, so it looks odd when you see it.

PM me your email address and I can send the page out of the manual to you. Has a picture, and a better explanation.

Not sure if they had done away with the fittings on the a-arms in 02, but on my 00 I have the following fittings;

Swing arm-pain to get to.
Rear axle
Lower steering post
Upper steering post
Ball joints
A-arms
