So i gotta replace the upper ball joint on my 96 f250 along with the U joint right there. But i was wondering if i could replace it with out separating the lower ball joint by fitting the ball joint press where the the red line is.
No there isn't room. If I remember correctly it gets removed by pressing from the bottom to the top so at least on my press the lower joint has to be out of the way. I wouldn't just replace one and not the other unless you had already done the lower recently.
I'm taking out my drive shaft anyways to replace the u joint so I might have enough room with everything else taken out. And the lower ball joint was done not to long ago according to the Les Schwab receipt I got with the truck.
