Sorry Jim, Bad night. Reading too many of these forums.

I'd say GTPDAD should be able to help you in the morning. I hope.

Well if its like my 95 I have to grind off the rivit heads with a cut off wheel (you can use a chissel also) use a punch and a hammer to knock them out and ofcourse take off the tire seperate the ball joint from the lower control arm with big hammer and a large bar or if you prefer get a pickel fork and a big hammer. I didnt have to remove the axle. then you just bolt the new joint in with the suppled bolts they are small so dont bust them off but you gotta have them tight so you dont go for a ride.
