balljoints

hey do i really need to take my car to a shop with a press to get my balljoints off and new ones on? if no can someone explain me and any tips

are we talking upper or lower? upper balljoint (in upper arm) can't be taken out. you'll need to replace the upper arm.

the lower balljoint requires a tool. i really suck at explaining things. to spare you of the "take the thingy and use it to the remove the whatcha-ma-call-it"......check this out:

well if your talking about the front upper balljoints ,,ami is right that if you want to change them you have to buy a new control arm that has a new balljoint weilded on,,to get the screw part of the balljoint off the car i used this tool,,http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40966

I have an OEM lower ball joint. I bought it from Honda, but it turns out I don't really need it. I'll sell it to you cheaper than you could buy it from Honda to save me the lost $$ on a re-stocking fee.

let me know if you might want it via a PM or e-mail or something :cool:

BTW - I also have a '91 4-door - welcome! :wave:
