What a coincidence... I just finished completely f-ing up the threads on one of my lower ball joints.

Re: lower ball joint (brandoom)

You can use a deep socket to hammer out the old ball joint if it is not frozen in with rust. I did both of mine today. Then PATIENTLY tap in the new one with some grease... dont get carried away and start smashing.
