Hey, I've been informed that I need new ball joints in my pickup. Anyone done these themselves before? Are they something I can do in my driveway without pnumatic tools?

Thanx

Here's a video of the process. You'll have to decide for yourself if you're up to it.

Hey, Thanx for the try.. But the video is down...

I am not payimg $950 for some grease monkey to do it ( yes, I said it, but I was one once so I can lol). SO, I suppose I will Buy a bench vice and a BIG hammer.
Thanx!

That's odd, the video is working for me. If you still can't see it, just search youtube for 'ford superduty ball joint' and several useful videos will show up.

Either way, you can probably do it with some sweat...and shall we say..enginuity. Bench vise, big C clamp, or even an anvil and sledgehammer. That last one's a joke...don't do that.

 

It's an old and long thread, but has all the info you'll need for the job. Good luck.
