Lower ball joint R&R on 71 duster

The truth is that you do NOT need to back off the torsion bar. Remove the brakes (rotors or drums) with the car supported with stands under the control arm. Unbolt the lower ball joint from the spindle. Lift the spindle/upper arm to reveal the lower joint. Remove the nut and turn it over threaded onto the joint to be flush with the end of the stud. Hit the nut/stud with a 3lb sledge once or twice...
