help installing ball joints
I'm replacing the upper and lower ball joints on a 93' F-150 4x4. I'm pretty sure they will come out easy since they are so loose but does anyone have and good advise of what to look out for when doing the install. Last week I replaced the front bearings so I'm familiar with the first part of the tear down.
I had heard that when installing the new joints you can use the weight of the truck to help press them in. Anyone agree??

Just go to your local Autozone and they will rent you the seperator and press. You just put it on your CC and when you are done, take the tools back and they credit it back. These sure make the job a snap. I will be doing my other side this week. Did the right side last week, took about 2-3 hours. Piece of cake with the tools mentioned.
Good Luck
