How hard or easy is it to replace a ball joint? I was riding on pavement the other day
and my wheel about came off...that sucked. Anyhow anybody know how much $$$ ?

It's very easy to do. And the ball joint cost about 32 bucks.

Jack up your bike, remove the tire and shock, unbolt the ball joint from the knuckle/spindle, remove the Cir-clip from the bottom side of the a-arm that holds the ball-joint on, use a SMALL wheel puller to press the balljoint threw the a-arm hole.

Then to install it just bolt it to the knuckle/spindle, put some Green lock tight around the ball joint, slip it in the a-arm, put the cir-clip on, put the shock on, then put your tire back on.

Simple as that.
