replaced my ball joint , here are some pix and how to vids:
tools you`ll need:
floor jack & jack stands
needle nose pliers
ball joint press (rent from autozone & advanced auto parts for $100)
ratchet or breaker bar..i think a 19 socket
may need ball joint separater
remove snap ring with needle nose :
unscrew top of balljoint and use jack to lift and separate control arm
use the balljoint separator to remove
how it looks on new ball joint:
out with the old
in with the new
good videos to use as reference :
