I am buying a 700 2008 but the lower a-arms have thier paint brushed off and rusty. I'd like to remove and powdercoat. Are the ball joints removable and can I put them back in?

 

i think you will have to replace them after removal. my 99 big bear ball joints are installed with rivets. so that is the good old fashioned air chisel to get them out. the replacements should bolt in like most car ball joints.

 

BALL JOINT 5LP-23579-00-00 CIRCLIP 99009-30400-00 . u dont need an air chisel they come right out if u use kano or pb blaster

 

Great I am looking forward to my future Raptor purchase. The hard part I think is getting the ball joint off the spindle.
