New member here thats thrilled to have this site. I'll be happy to contribute and help others too...Had an 01' 2.5 years ago that I took to 190,000 in 3years and replaced a timing belt, tires and little else with little troubles. Just bought the 99' supercab 2wd, 2.5 slow slug w/ 47,000 to make a living. Bought it knowing that the left side would need upper and lower ball joints due to ripped up boots/age. Both joints have already been replaced on the right side with the OE upper control arm still in place and greasable Moog joints up and low. It doesn't appear to be a problem to press out the lowers, but I undertand I'll be LUCKY AS HELL to get out the upper ball joint based on my research in the archives here. Obviously it's been done...HOW ? 20 Ton press, oxy torch, air chisel.....Should I just be damn sure I can drive down to the local parts store and pick up the whole arm/joint assembly if my attempt fails ?...Thanks in advance...
