Hello All,

I am rebuilding the 10 bolt front end and wonder if the upper ball joint can be pressed out with the "rental tool" while the steering arm in place. The drive side is still on the truck and I do not have the tool in hand to see if it will clear the arm.

I think it would be easier to break the arm loose while attached to the axle but if i do not need to remove it , all the better.

Thanks,
Chris
