lower ball joints

It seems I need to change the lower ball joints in my 95 2wd. I'm just looking for any tips on how to press out the old one's since I've never changed ball joints before. What problems might I run into. Whatever. Thanks.

you can get the special press out tool at places like AutoZone with their loan a tool deal - where you pay them for the tool, and they refund your money afterwards... I never did Ball Joints on mine, it was worth the $100 to have someone else do them, but not many mechanics will let you use supplied parts, since they make 1/2 their money on parts... but I'd love you to post your results here if you try it... they always seemed harder to do than they maybe are... the uppers I would try, but they never fail :-)

Don't even try it without that press tool... That much I can tell you :-) Good Luck!
