Re: Removing left-upper 4x4 ball joint without removing steering arm?
I recently did this job on my 1970 Blazer, and rented the Autozone ball joint tool. I was able to remove and replace the LH upper ball joint without removing the arm, damage to the tool, or resorting to making tools. I don't remember any drama. The knuckle was a dry Arizona part, so it came apart super easy. I used NOS GM ball joints, and it went back together effortlessly.
