Lower Ball Joints 2WD

[drkmtr]

Need a little advice and info on lower ball joint replacement on a 2wd. From the looks of it, the old ones are riveted into the lower arm. From the pictures I have seen of the replacement ones, they are press fitted. Just need to know if anyone has done the lowers on a 2wd before and what they had to do to get it done. Searched the forum and only found info on the uppers for 2wd and lowers on 4wd.

you have to get a press and press them out, you can rent them at autozone I believe. DO NOT take the rivets out... big mistake lol, trust me i know

Gonna have to wait on this for awhile, don't have the funds right now. The joints aren't loose or anything, just have torn boots. If I could just do the boots and pack them with grease I'd be good. Too bad the factory ones don't have a grease fitting.
