Message: [QUOTE="Stacks92, post: 260159, member: 4733"] Heat is going to be your best friend. Take the wheel off via lug nuts. remove your 4x4lock out assembly, remove the snap rings inside the hub, remove the two nuts, remove the four to six bolts that hold the spindle to the spider, spindle should come off. take off your steering arm. Remove the nuts that hold the ball joints in and nicely tap down on the spider, should come off. Now, for the fun part(if your bushings are bad,which I'm assuming they are.) if you have an air hammer I suggest you use it. Put the chisel end between the collar of the bushing and the axle and hammer it out kinda prying it up while hammering. They should come out. If not heat up the axle slightly and try again. For the ball joints, heat is going to be your best friend along with a good sturdy work bench and vice. Heat up the area around the ball joints so it is nice and warm, not cherry red but a dull red. I opted to beat the old ones out with a punch and heavy hammer. Install the new ones with the correct tool when the spider has cooled. Reassemble everything to correct torque and preload on bearings. Install wheel and torque and you are ready for a road test. [/QUOTE]
