How to remove ball joints
Hey everyone,
Has anyone removed and replaced their upper and lower ball joints on their Ranchero before? (mines a 79) I'm really wanting to know if I need a spring compressor or not and a ball joint press or not. I heard that if i put a floor jack under the lower control arm and take the pickel fork to the lower ball joint, i could use the jack to decompress the spring so it doesn't fly out. Also, i bought the Moog or TRW (part of the Performance Suspensions front end kit)ball joints, so i know i will just bolt the new ones in, but would i have to press them in? Any help on the best way to do this will be helpful. Thanks!
Danny
