I'm trying to install the moogs from the older model (found the part #'s on other posts). One problem, for the life of me, I can't seem to press out the old ones. Any tips? At this point, these things don't look like they can be removed. I've tried a 420 ft/lb impact on the ball joint press with no luck.
Damn!

Hey allen do the ball joints come with the arm with the bolt holes to attach it to the control arm or do you have to press them in? I am gonna go with the uppers from a 99. Found anything about the tie rod ends yet?

You should have no problem removing them with a ball joint press,make sure you are using the tool properly,it takes very little force to remove ball joints with the tool.

Most auto parts stores will loan you the press if they have or you can rent one from a tool and machine rental place.No you dont remove the a-arm.
