Re: Family Project 65 C10 SWB "Old Blue"
Lower a-arm ball joint went in with just easy slow taps of a hammer.
I lost one of the lower a-arm u-bolts in the shuffle of disassembly, so I purchase 9/16 upgrades (the old u-bolts were 7/16) from O-Reilly's. Dorman 13503 for reference. Simply drilled out the holes in the frame with a 9/16 bit. The frame is mild steel and drilled pretty easily even with a cordless drill. It may seem like the holes need elongated a bit to fit the larger u-bolts, but they don't. Just a little tap with a hammer gets them started. Finished installing the lower a-arms and torqued u-bolts to 85ft-lbs.
