I'm installing coils in a BB6 tomorrow for a mate, just need to know if there's anything tricky about it. I've found a few DIYs and some say you need a tie rod remover, pittman arm puller or some shit for the rears? Fronts will be no problem.

If someone whos done a bb6 before can spare a minute and give me some tips, order of removing bolts etc would be much appreciated.

:) thanks!

ball joints,,, can be a **** of a job or could be easy,,

soak ball joints in wd 40,
to remove ball joint, usually you'll use a ball joint removing tool, if you dont have one, the correct socket and hammer will do the trick,

don't **** the new one in when installing it,, few light taps in the beginning and reem it in when you know its ready to go in.

usuaslly a few good shots with a decent sized hammer will loosen a ball joint.
