I'm looking to replace both upper ball joints.
I have never done something like this before.
Does anyone have any tips of advice for this repair?
Do's or dont's?
I have to rent the ball joint tool. I have heard that one stores ball joint tool does not work well or work right. But I can't remember which store. I have an o'reilly, auto zone, napa, and advance auto parts near me.
I have been thinking about purchasing an corded electric impact gun from harbor freight for some time now. Just to make my life a little easier. I don't have air tools or a budget to allow me to purchase air tools.
Would this job be easier with an such a tool to remove/install the ball joint? Or is it one of those jobs where it's best to use hand tools?
Thanks in advance.
