I have to replace the left ball joint on my scrmabler. Any tips to remove or press it back in? Looks like a pretty easy straight forward task. Ive got my trusty service manual, but it says something about a ball joint press tool (?)

 

I think it's actually pretty easy to do it yourself, but da guys at my dealer are the great, so I've always just dropped off the spindles.

 

I replaced both of mine recently,i found that the easiest way is to heat the lower strut housing a bit.When i did that they came right out.I tapped the new ones in with a large socket.

 

Sounds easy enough to me. Just ordered on form the dealer. Should be in on Thurs.

 

Put some anti-seize on the new one before you put it back in the strut housing. This will help the installation and will aid in removal if it ever needs to changed again.
