How to change ball joints???

[fasteddie]

I have been searching for over an hour and can't seem to find instructions on how to change ball joints. Can any one post a link? I'm sure there has to be one out there, should be a sticky.

Thanks in advance

One way if you have no special tools is take a larger socket and place it under the a arm and use a larger c clamp to press it out into the socket. Make sure you take out the snap ring first though. Should be able to do it with the a arm on the sled.

That sounds like a great way to remove the ball joint, how would you reinstall the new one, or does it just slide in easily ?

Just go in reverse. Put your socket back on the top and press the ball joint back in by pressing back on the ball. Little lube on it wouldn't hurt..

Haven't actually done it on the nytro yet but have on other stuff. Don't see why it wouldn't work here too.

Yeah, thats basically it.. I smashed mine out with a hammer as they were in there pretty good and not sure a C clamp was up to the challenge.. But don't be shy with it. Use the right size pipe/socket and have at er
