Hi Guys, need to replace the upper ball joints which are riveted in - there's some long-term thinking there!!
So looks like we need to drill them out, to get drill access looks like we have to swing the spring/shock assembly inwards and at this point we can't get these lower bolt heads to budge ( :huh: ) and wanting to be careful not to burr them. Can anyone tell me if the nuts under are captive or will they take a socket - can't get good visibility (a hoist, oh to dream)?
I'm guessing a few of you guys must have done this job - can't find a thread on them, sorry if I missed it, just point me to it so I don't waste anyone's time.
Thanks, in advance, for your time and thoughts on this.
