tj21 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I just did mine on my '86 2wd. They are not easy to press out and in, but its doable. Autozone and Oreilly's have loaner tools and you can borrow a ball joint press. Make sure to also get all the specialty press adapters for Chevy/Honda/etc. There's no Jeep adapter there, but you can make the others work. Neither store realized they had the adapters until I pointed to them on there loan-a-tool brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
