How to replace upper ball joint
Does anyone know how to replace an upper ball joint on a 1996? I plan on replacing mine and wonder if there is a write up. Also, am I going to need a press to install the new joint?

2 Ball joint separator
3 I also made myself a wedge out of 1/4 plate to slide around the shank of the bj, then go to town with the separator, seems to make it a heck of a lot easier to beat out.

is this for a 3rd gen? From what I understand, installing them on 2nd gens is different than 3rds.

do you have to pull the coils out to get the ball joint out? I wouldnt imagine you would have to. ALso, I was thinking about doing this myself.
Would it be feasable to pull the whole a-arm out and get it pressed in a shop then put it back in?
