I agree with taint, the most trouble I had with both the 06 & 07 h3 were hubs being fused to vehicle.
The worst were the upper a arms being fused to the frame ... By the way the ball joints were no picnic either in the lower position.

 

Thanks TAINTER.

I hope two 10mm bolt technique will work for me.

 

Hey Happy Hummer, could you pls give some more details abt your experience...?

 

The ball joint press/puller we bought at HF sucked...Did I mentioned it really sucked!
Do yourself a favor and rent a nice on from a local store such as Vato-Zone or the like.
Also the upper A-arm had the rubber metal sleeved bushing rust weld itself to the bolt. I literally had to cut the arm a piece at a time to get it out because of all the rust with those two bolts. Just sucked Ugh!

The hub on both had to be beaten, beaten, beaten and more beating till I could get them out. Again a lot of salt/rust corrosion.

 

Thanks to S.E. Wisconsin's land of salt baths the rust is a constant battle to keep parts from freezing, corroding or fuzing together.

Just replaced my front rotors and pads and caliper bolts.
I went the unexciting, but durable long lasting ACDelco on all parts.

The 10MM bolt trick for separating the rotors from the hub does work and I cleaned up the hub and then used anti-sieze on the hub face.
Hopefully that will make the next job easier
Good luck
