I'M REPLACING THE FRONT END IN A 72 BLAZER WITH A 2WD 72 TRUCK FRONT ASSY. I'VE DISASSEMBLED EVERYTHING, & JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE POWDERCOATERS. EVERYTHING IS PRETTY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SHAFTS ARE A REAL B!TCH TO GET LOOSE, BUT A LITTLE HEAT & ALOT OF MUSCLE GET THE JOB DONE. I BOUGHT A BALL JOINT PRESS AT HARBOR FREIGHT FOR $29 (CHEAPIE)& IT POPPED EM RIGHT OUT. I HATE PAYING PEOPLE TO DO THINGS THAT I CAN DO. I'M REPLACING EVERYTHING (UPPER &LOWER BALL JOINTS, U/L CONTROL ARM SHAFTS,DROP SPRINGS, ALL TIE ROD ENDS,BEARINGS & IDLER ARM.TOTAL COST AROUND $250 INCLUDING POWDERCOATING.
