I am not sure what the ball joint is, but my wheels were painted and when I put the front ones on the car and spun it, it sounded like sand grinding. How do I take off the bearing part of the back of the front wheel so I can clean or replace it? Thank you in advanced for your help! Bob
So.......someone sandblasted it?.......
You have to pop the seal, which you will ruin in the process, and the inner bearing will fall out.
If you want to get this done NOW the CR seal number is a 17607.
