This is a way of doing them
This is not the best way of changing them - but is A way (without use of presses or expensive stuff :oops: )
Top one took me 5 minutes to get out, bottom one 10 minutes - on previous attempts I was expecting 3 hours for them :oops:
Remove wheel, hub and knuckle.
Then get a jack, apply load to the top ball joint and hit around it with a hammer :roll: - it then popped out
This did not work on the bottom one
So out came the 9" angle grinder, cut into the top of it, as far as you can without cutting the axle part.
Then cut through the bottom of it. It generates a lot of heat and when cut through all of the ball and inards fell out (it had melted the plastic liner)
The top was then hit with a small hammer (probably only 10oz as my other hammers are on a job I'm doing and the next size up was the 14lber - which did get used later :roll: )
The whole lot then came out
The insides were then cleaned to remove ruat etc and the new ball joints tapped into place.
