Found this to be money well spent

Get you a can of Craigslist Restore (flat black paint) and restore everything you see under there!

I borrowed/rented a similar tool last time I did this job. Think it was AutoZone.

Moog Problem Solvers eh?

I like the Problem Solvers. Some of them don't have a big ole bulging grease boot and I like that! I changed the lowers on my 2004 and those had the small grease boot. My 1968 is getting uppers, lowers and tie rod ends. Those were all still a bigger boot but still marked Problem Solvers. It took me pretty much all day to get (2) on......

glad it got done...struggle at all?

Re: Going to put new ball joints...Wish Me Luck!
 

"struggle at all?"...Ha! Really the toughest part was standing back up after working on the concrete for what seemed like hours....and you know even if it's not too hot yet you still have to remember to drink water......

But No, I've done ball joints before...
