My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

[Gregski]

the lower control arm ball joints are simply pressed in, and so they must be depressed, a proper ball joint puller kit rented from your local parts house makes quick work of said task

I like to use a 15 gallon black garbage can as an assist

if performing this task in the wee hours of the morning, I like to use a noisy impact driver, it quickly initiates a spirited conversation with your neighbors and helps them start their day
