Hollywood:

Could you get me the name and number of the dealer who did your recall work?

Maybe I can have him explain how he did it to my dealer's Prowler tech so I will not have to keep waiting for the @#$%&*% tool!

My brother is a tech there. he just used a large ball joint press. just like any other car. i watched every minute of it. we didnt even have to take the top ball joint off of the spindle ( i think thats what its called ). ill see if i can find some pics.
