Great post of how to replace the ball joints. Everything was spot on just as you described it and thanks for the pictures. The OEM upper balljoints now come with a zert fitting. Not quite sure how to get a grease gun on them past the U-joint but I'll worry about that in a few thousand miles. Again thanks so much for the post.
Admin reply: Thanks for posting. Nice to know the OEMs are greasable now. I was not aware of that.

Thank you so much! This made changing the hub & seals so much easier. Especially when my boyfriend was at his wits end trying to figure it out! Once I found this I was able to tell him exactly what he needed to do. The pictures were my back-up, so after his initial hesitation he quit doubting me...LOL! That home-made tool made life so much easier also. Didn't bring the materials list with me when I ran into the hardware store, but after reading through this & seeing that picture so many times I was able to reproduce it much to his surprise & delight. (He was still trying to be thick-headed thinking he could do it without it!) Thanks again! You save a lot of headache & relationship stress! I'd say you deserve a whole case, not just a beer!

Wow, what a time and money saver. Spent days looking through manuals and websites to no avail before seeing the great pics and right on instructions. Used the info to replace hubs and axle seals. No I feel confident to replace the ball joints. Loved the home made tool. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks for the writeup and the instructions on the special tool. I couldn't figure out which way the axle seal went or how to press it on straight. This worked perfect.
