Default Re: Ball Joint press (iCe_2x)

you separate the knuckle completely (control arms, axle, tie rod). remove the hub ring around the axle opening. remove the snap ring around the balljoint. use that press to push the old balljoint out. (a hammer is easier and more effective tho). and press the new balljoint in with that tool. use a sleeve big enough to just fit around the opening of the balljoint. fit the tapered disc thing around the sleeve to help guide it as you compress the balljoint into the knuckle.
