Post RE & RE UPPER/LOWER BALLJOINTS...

Great Day to everyone out there,
I'm just prepping for an upper and lower balljoint replacement on my '91 Explorer Sport. I'm fairly adept when it comes to weilding wrenchs, but I thought if I posted this, it might help along a little better on the job.
What I'm trying to do right now is determine which are the most effective tools I'm going to need to get this all done and back up for a wheel alignment.
So if there are any experienced fellas out there that can give me a good que, then I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance to any/all that reply.
Dale.
Calgary, AB.

basicly u will need is wrenches sockets a big damn can of WD40 lol hammer and a pitman puller but can be done with a hammer but is easyer to do with this and when u are in thier if it is 4x4 change the u joints it is easyer to do now then when they brake on u i think that is it and be prepared to a 6-10 hour job it took me a total of 10 hours to do it 6 one side 4 the other u might have trouble with the spindel took me an hour to get one side off and u will need a balljoint romover/ installer tool
