This is a pic of the ball joint I installed in my 83 yesterday. The tools pictured are an OTC ball joint press(which is the same as this Harbor freight press kit for $39 and the black receiver cup on the bottom of the steering knuckle which comes in this kit from Harbor freight for $69.99. This item is not absolutely necessary for this job but it's a nice kit to have for other ball joint jobs. Just like the service manual says, the old joint is beaten out of the knuckle from the bottom with a drift and hammer. The joint in mine was solidly siezed and required a lot of pounding. After the knuckle is cleaned, you remove the boot from the new ball joint and install it into the knuckle just like in the pic. The top of the press fits perfectly over the joint flange(where the boot sits) and the joint installs effortlessy with an impact gun. Once the joint is seated all the way into the knuckle, reattach the boot along with the wire clip holding it to the joint and install the knuckle assembly in the car. This sure beats spending close to $400 for a tool you might only use once and can't be used for u-joints like the OTC tool can! By the way, the upper ball joint can be popped without destroying the boot by using one of the tools in this kit from Eastwood. For less than $100 you get a set of 5 quality tools that you can use on any tie rod end or ball joint to quickly pop the tapered stud without the damage a pickle fork does.
