Doing axle swap, stupid questions
OK, I'm getting ready to start my axle swap on my '79 K20, and I have a couple questions. This is nothing fancy, just swapping 4.10 10 bolt and 14 FF for 3.42 10 bolt and 14FF. I'm good with ripping apart and reassembling the 10 bolt, but I want to put in new balljoints. I have a 20 ton harbor freight press. Will this work, or should I get the ball joint press? Also, I should pick up the special socket to adust the ball joint, correct? The popular choice for ball joints seem to be heavy duty NAPA's or Spicer units from what I've seen here.
I've never had a 14 bolt apart before, but it seems to be pretty straight forward. I won't do anything to it unless I see a problem. The special socket is just for adjusting the wheel bearings, correct? I'm sure I will end up checking the bearings out.
Anybody have or know where I can find an exploded diagram having something to do with ball joint replacement? The manual I have kind of sucks. Thanks
