need help on 88 steering knuckle

I haven't done that particular style beam. But it looks like there is a shoulder on the nut side of the ball joint. There should be a circlip on the opposite side. Looking at your pic the first one to remove is the bottom right, then use an extension thru the new hole to get to the last one. Use a ball joint removal tool. I bought one from Princess Auto [Harbor Freight].

Edit; Looking at your first pic, remove the top joint first.

In general the flat end of the ball joint where the grease zerk goes is the "bottom" and the end with the threaded stud is the "top" and they go "up" to get out.

In your last picture I can see the lip it would seat against when fully in, and these are no exception. They move in the direction of the stud.

Ya I think they come down and out.

So I follow your thread "97 hot rolled ranger" on DR. How's it coming
