Ball-Joints done!!

Well, it wasn't all that pretty but I got 'er done! Turns out my nephew has not actually done this exact job before so the learning curve was pretty steep. I spent 3 hours on the d-side mostly learning what not to do and that I needed to rent some tools. After that, 30 minutes on the p-side did the trick! I decided to just do the lower joints for now so I can my alignment done and get back on the road, but I will definitely be going back in later to do the whole front end. There was one problem though and I couldn't find anyone to give me a solution at the time. I couldn't get the rubber dust boots seated all the way. I had to improvise as it was and was only able to get them on about half way. Other than that things went pretty well. I would never have even started this project without you guys backing me up. Thanks again for all the tips, info and pics.
