2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission ball joint replacement

[JessePayne]

I finally got around to replacing my ball joints on my 01. I used the powersteering to press the hub bearings off. Lots of penetrating oil and patience and they finally came off. Thanks to whoever came up with the idea, it definately works.

Jesse glad to hear you had no problems, but here in the snow belt where the diet on the roads in the winter is salt, and lots of it,, they just don't come off with this method, had to have a 25 ton press blow them out, of course while they were off the truck.
