The joint is fine but a very small amount of grease comes out of the pin sized hole. Seems like there ought to be a way to repair it without replacing the whole thing.
If not, how difficult is the R&R of the lower ball joints on a 1997 4wd Sierra?

Don't laugh here but I've got three suggestions.
1) If it's butyl rubber, you might try cleaning well and using a tire patch kit.
2) If it's some type of vinyl, you might try a waterbed or air mattress patch kit.
3) Hot melt glue gun?
In any case, not sure how long the repair would last but maybe long enough to get you through till you can replace it.
