Can anyone give me some pointers/instructions on how to remove/ replace the upper and lower ball joints on a 77 3/4ton 4x4. It is a dana 44 front end. I have all the tools required to perform this at school, but our shop teacher only knows how to keep everybody alive. If somebody could give me some tips or complete instructions on what needs to come off in what order and what parts will most likely need to be replaced would be greatly appreciated. Ive done brake work before but i havent gotten this far into the truck. It used to be a full time front axle until i converted it to lockouts. any help is greatly appreciated. thanx in advance.
