Strike the spindle at the ball joint boss (see photo below) to dislodge the ball joints. When the lower
is loose, support the lower arm with a floor jack, strike the top and remove the nuts. Lift the upper
control arm up and out of the way and lift the spindle off of the lower arm.
Strike here to dislodge ball joints.
This is a good time to check the ball joints and tie rods for replacement if necessary.
Place the Baer Brake assembly first onto the lower ball joint then lower the upper into place and
install the nuts. Torque the top to 60 ft-lbs and the lower to 80 ft-lbs. Tighten the nut as needed to
install the cotter pins.
Install the tie rod end into the spindle and torque the nut to 35 ft-lbs. Tighten to install the cotter pin.
Install the steel braid hose with one copper washer on each side of the banjo fitting. Finger tighten the
banjo bolt. Connect the hose to the hardline and install the hose lock. Position the hose to avoid
interference with the wheel and suspension components. Tighten fitting and banjo bolt to 15-20 ft-
lbs.
Repeat these steps for the other side and recheck all attachment points and fittings.
