Outstanding work, thank your for the pictures. I have the ball joints, just haven't had the courage to replace them. These pics might help me out, lol!

No problem to change but you must have the joints press and it's simply done after you flex all around the old one, put some de grip oil !!! You can also hit the old one out with a good 6 pound hammer and an 30mm wrench nut.

It is a 1.5 hour job if you have all nuts and press, 10 minutes to free nice and safe the old ball joints head around without damaging anything else.
