Great Instructions
I did the balljoints on my 1993 E-150 a couple months ago, and the directions posted above are right on. Although I must admit being a neophyte I hired a retired mechanic (referred to me by his daughter who works at the local Autozone) to coach me through the process.
One thing I ran into was I could not get the tie rod disconnected no matter how hard I hit it. And I am 6-4 250-plus, and know how to swing a hammer. I finally had to resort to a no-no -- namely using a pickle fork to do the separation. After I bashed the daylights out of that pickle fork the tie rod finally came loose.
Also, I absolutely recommend the impact wrench. Once you are done with this balljoint job you will be glad for every cent you spent on the impact wrench, and you might even kiss the thing.
