Subject:Upper ball joints - replacement
From:Todd Last
Date:Sat, 20 Jul 2002 09:13:58 -0700

The boots on my upper balljoints have split, and they are ooozing all
their grease.
The replacement seems straightforward.

Two questions:

1.) How do you liberate the balljoint from the spindle?
2.) Does the new balljoint need to be pressed in, or will tightening the
nut to the correct torque properly seat the balljoint?

thanks
