Ball Joint Removal

What is involved in swapping out the balljoints on a 68 1/2 ton? Any special tools needed?

You'll need a press which you can rent for free (refundable deposit) from Auto-Zone to get the lower ball joints out and a grinder to grind the rivets off the upper ball joints. The new TRW ball joints bolt in on top and are pressed back in on the lowers!
