maddzz1 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Go here: http://madxj.com/ Click on the installing ball joints link. It shows how to get the knuckle off and some different ways of hitting it to reduce/prevent damage to the knuckle. Since you are replacing them, damage shouldn't be that important. But its a great write up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeMJ Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 if your gonna change the knuckles I'm assuming your gonna change the ball joints to so the best way to do this is cutting them just cut the castle nut off both of them and use a punch to tap them out thats what I did on my 44's when I rebuilted them only after I tried to get the castle nut off for at least 1 hour :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 a3jjPouRdFw then..UYcqNAhk-co There are a few other video guides on youtube, but these seem to be the most complete.I would suggest starting the PB Blaster soaking yesterday. Everything will be really corroded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 i always thought putting jack stands on your lcas was bad.... I have heard that too. But I do it. I figure it has to be better than dragging them over jagged rocks and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
