Okay, today I finally got around to installing the Wicked Tuning rear camber kit today. I followed the directions from both the video and the DIY posted by mimituck04.

It took me almost 2 hours to do the install and adjust the coilovers (multiple trips to autozone). :madrun:

The hardest part was trying to pry off the ball joint.
This tool was useless and a waste of time ( banged on it for good 30min ).

Instead, borrow one of these instead, it will cut your install time by half.

When I did my rear camber (brought the same one) I loosen the nut and banged it with a hammer and it would popped right out......

hmm ive searched but by any chance do you know what size is the ball point separator? autozone has a couple of size and i dont want to keep driving back and forth. Kragans has the all the sizes but i have to pay 6 dollars to rent.

If you want to be able to reuse the original part, I would not recommend using the fork type separator. More than likely it will rip/tear the ball joint boot. I suggest using the universal ball joint separator (2nd picture above). I could not find a store that had it so I ended up using these:

part #OEM27020 Ball Joint Separator

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/inourstores/lat/latLanding.jsp?bodyContent=pullersSpecialized

part #OEM27022 Tie Rod End Puller


*** edit ***

This is what I would use next time: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00996404000P

I have been needing this DIY for quite some time now, anyways, do you have any other advices on replacing it since I am a bit afraid that I might damage some of the parts such as my pitman arm, and other parts which are needed to be moved.
