I have a question on how to remove the lower trailing arm from the car.
After I remove the bolt in the red circle the lower trailing arm doesn't want to drop. Do I simply hammer it, or do I need special tool for it?

Thanks!

 

You want to use a pickle fork. Go to Autozone and they will have them. Then you put the fork in there and hammer it.

Really if you do not know how to use it I would recommend taking it to a professional shop because you do not want to tear the boot or wreck the threads on the joint.

DON'T use a pickle fork! unless you want to destroy the boot that is. Autozone sells a tool which can be used to pop that joint loose. You may have to grind some material off the tool to make it fit properly though, only costs about 10-15 bucks.

 

Do you have any description or name of that tool? I will take some pictures and bring to Autozone or Pepboys to see if they know what I am looking for.

 

Looks just like this:

For those of you who wants to do it yourself, here is a picture of the special OEM tool:
