K10 Ball Joints - what am I doing wrong?

[swissarmychainsaw]

EDIT: I just found out that Tom Magliozzi from Car Talk passed away, so in honor of that, I'm giving myself a "dope slap!".

Ok I figured it out, and I'm going to post what happened just in case anyone else does this.

Basically you have to make sure the Sleeve goes well into the yolk "C".

I re-seated the Upper ball joint:


Put the boot back on:


Lower looking good:


Finger tight, notice the huge gap under the Yolk!


This time I put the the Sleeve in about two threads below the Yolk, then:
Torqued the lower to 70lbs
Torqued the sleeve to 50lbs (this time it wen WAY below the bottom of the yolk)
Torqued upper to 100 LBS
(you can see the sleeve peeking out from the bottom of the yolk):


Ready for the cotter pin:
