Title: ZJ balljoints
Post by: wildwood on May 03, 2012, 12:43:13 PM
Got an advisory last MOT so need to do at least one side.......... :jpshakehead:

Got the parts for the YJ 2 years ago but never used them...... so thats a bit saved.........

Just need the correct tools for the removal ...refit.......

I have cast an eye over the You tube how to section........ seems this might do the trick.......

Anyone got any tips/ advice before I wade in......... (literally if it dont stop pissing down) :jpshakehead:

That kit looks posh! Homebrew Lardie style, would require creativity using:

 An old socket, G Clamp and hammer :icon_winkle:

it looks to be the same type of kit that I used to do the wj ones, just be careful you don't end up pushing the ball thru the bottom of the joint as I did.

My Missus will also want to know why I am spending £70 odd with 'DEBBIES TOOLS" :hysterical: :hysterical:
