I had no need to do this. I simply lifted the subframe up and started the bolt with relative ease. If you have the spring compressor, it only takes about 15 minutes to pull the spring. You do have to remove the shock first, however. |

They weren't hard at all to get out. A 1" socket and a 5lb sledge hammer. Took each one out with about 5 blows. The AutoZone ball joint press did work but there is no way to use it like it's supposed to be used with the adapters. The top of the press actually pushes on the ball not the housing. I can't see it causing any real damage though. If that was the case we would be replacing ball joints every time we hit a pothole! They were a ***** to get out though. 5lb sledge again and a pickle fork. Really had to hit that sucker hard! All in all it worked out pretty good. Danny
