Dana 60 ball joints.

Wondering if anyone here at yotatech can help me with replacing balljoints ... knuckle joints? Not sure their exact name. on a DANA 60 axle.

Don't have a pic to show exactly what im talking about. There is a upper joint and a lower, one both sides of the axle and one side the bottom ball joint is completely shot.

This is on a '99 Ford F350 Superduty Diesel.

Help!

*edit

this is a crappy picture, but this is what i need to do.



I need to replace the upper and lower balljoints of the knuckle.

I'm just wondering if there are any special tools or knowledge I need to know before I take this on. Some kind of puller? Technique for getting the balljoints out? Where to buy new ones?

I got the ball joint and extra adapter kits from Harbor Freight:

I got replacements at Pep BoyZ, Perfect Circle brand, lifetime warrantee and the joints are greaseable, unlike the stock Ford units.
