To remove the lower suspension arm, start by removing the nut from the lower ball stud at the outer end of the arm and separate the arm from the boss on the trailing arm. If the ball stud sticks, use a ball joint removal tool. Additionally, remove the pivot bolt from the inner end of the arm.

To remove the trailing arm, you should start by removing the coil spring, brake shoe assembly, brake hose and brake line brackets, parking brake cable brackets, and ABS wheel speed sensor if equipped. Then, remove the hub and bearing assembly. Separate the brake backing plate from the trailing arm and suspend it with a piece of wire. Finally, mark the relationship of the toe adjusting cam to the trailing arm mounting bracket, unscrew the pivot bolt, and separate the trailing arm from the vehicle.
