once the red lock pin is busted off you need to push the rest of the pin through the hole as shown to get it out.

after I filled the transmission up and ran the motor the second time I noticed a bit of fluid had run down the side of the transmission from a line. on the passenger side of the casing above the middle pan bolt. I wiped away all the fluid and ran the motor for a while revving it and nothing more came out. potentially an overflow hole?

The culprit. as you can see the boot has been torn off. remove the nut on the bottom with a 21mm socket and the air gun.

using a ball joint separator and a hammer of your choice hammer the separator onto the ball joint after the nut has been removed (21mm socket).

how I was able to separate the ball joint. it required a 19mm socket. I suggest using eye protection when hitting the separator with a high power impact air gun.

ball joint has been successfully separated. Once the joint is separated take off the front and middle under panels of the vehicle with a 8mm socket.

Pick your poison to hammer the separator onto the ball joint. I used the 2 pound.

use a 21mm socket and a T45 torx bit to tighten the nut down on the ball joint. use the T45 torx bit to hold the inner screw while tightening the nut.
