 I am disassembling the front suspension on 15800 and amd a little confused by what I am seeing. The upper ball joint is not attached to the arm with 4 bolts as in every photo I have seen or the manual. It is riveted on, and the rivets have the appearance of having been manufactured that way - don't rally look like home mechanic rivets. Has anybody else seen this? Or am I looking at it wrong? I guess the solution is to drill out the rivets.

Also - should it be extremely difficult to remove the ball joint bolts from the sub axle? I see peple have a hard time removing the lower ball joint from the suspension arm, but have not seen comments of trouble removing from the stub. (Vertical Link).
