so to get the knuckle outa the axle, just unbolt the balljoints and hammer
it down? or is there something else to do? (not counting removing the axle
shaft and related steering components.)
@6030diesel I didn’t use a jack. I used an impact wrench on the top nut to
snug it up then torqued both. Just don’t grease them before you install it
or they’ll turn when you tighten down. I found out the hard way on that!

@farmboy30117 ok and reinstalation is just as easy, just put a jack under
it and push it up, torque up the lower balljoint nut then the top one?
@foxdmulder That’s for sure!
@PissOnJapScrap You ain’t kidding. Best thing I ever bought for my shop was
my air compressor!
thanks for actually showing the whole process…so many idiots on youtube
that dont…
At least it wasnt going to fall out
@6030diesel That’s all I did. Put the top ball joint nut on until the nut
and stud are even and hit it.

yikes, some pb blaster a day before and that bottom joint would of popped
right out.
Could you have tapped on the c-clamp threaded bolt? I think my brother uses
his press with 20 ton bottle jack but your method works to. Nice video.
@jasonmushersee Yeah, I definately need a press… and a better impact
wrench
