Rat repair.

[swamp rat]

Now for the ball joint press, i found that the uppers ball joints had a snap ring groove but no snap ring, have not looked to see if the new uppers have the snap ring or not, the lowers did tho so off they came, the ball joints popped loose with my super old PLVMB 1/2 drive breaker bar. I have the floor press but this was pretty easy being chucked into a vice.

I noted that the new ball joints have serrations on the mating surface, i grabbed my calipers and there was about .007 difference with the serrations being the larger of the two, any body else run into this?

Point of note: be sure on install the ball joint with the hole for the cotter pin goes on the top..

Now its time to do some scraping and degrease work... anybody wanna come help LOL!
