Getting out the own ball joints. Help

MoparSickness77 · Apr 27, 2012

I'm still wanting to change my lower ball joints and I got as far as I could go last time I worked on them. These oem joints are odd with the little tabs or whatever on them.

What do I do to get them out? I tired putting the press on it and no luck. They press downwards correct?

And any suggestions on setting up the ball joint press for the best results?

This was my progress.

Hmm mine were able to press right out, we a real ***** but came out, and yes the go down, my press was being funny and I set it at the edges, did a little reposition and did some more. I know you are supposed to do it on the middle but mine would not stay there so I gave up and did it of the edge

Were yours the same? Maybe I shoulda just kept going. I was afraid I was gonna get it stuck or something so I stopped.

Put your ball joint press on there...get it as tight as you can go. Then give your nuckel a good smack with a hammer a few times. This "should" knock it lose and allow you to press them more

You have to use the large cylinder on the bottom and mabie need a "cheater" bar, Just keep turning they will pop a few times then slide right out.. I sent you a PM
