Got an upper ball joint that hurtin' pretty bad since its old and dry rotting and the lift. I am thinking of tackling it in the parking lot with some jack stands and some sockets and of course a ball joint fork. I was wondering if the job is worth trying, or if i should spend $300 bucks getting it fixed. Also, while I am in there I will be removing 1 bamecham top out.

PS: Is there a special tool to press the new ball joint in and do I HAVE to take the UCA off to do it?
