I feel your frustration. I replaced the original ball joints and tie rod ends a couple months ago. I watched numerous how to vids, and they made it look SO easy. Well let me tell you something. After about eight hours of sweat, busted and bruised knuckles, and a plethora of words that kids will never hear on network tv, my son and I completed the task. The truck handles like brand new now, so it was well worth it.
