Re: Replacing Lower Ball Joint 1996 Chevy 3/4 Ton 4x4

Basically you need to make enough room to get to the ball joint openly. You dont have to remove the lower arm from the truck. After you have access to the joint, support the arm with a jackstand. Be sure the arm is high enough off the floor to use the ball joint tool. The ball joint tools usualy are able to remove the joint if you can turn the drive bolt. If not, don't be afraid to beat the snot out of the joint housing with a hammer to drive it out, been there and done that.
