@amzy76 Lower ball joints in a 2002 chevy truck are pressed in the lower control arm from the factory as all are, however, no rivets or snap rings retain the ball joint. The factory uses a press to stake the upper lip of the ball joint in the control arm in four spots on the upper lip. Take a drift and a hammer and knock these for areas inward towards the center of the ball joint. Use a small file to make sure the lip is nice and round and take a hammer and knock it out. No press needed.

Without a sequence number in the video name, it is very difficult to find the proper video sequence. The sequence number at the end of the video name is not good either, place the number early in the title as I have done on my uploads at my "lwgraves" channel. Very good videos.

@rthom86 This is just a general way of removing them ect most vehicles will be similar they cant make a video for every truck and car

ok expertvillage not every single full size trucks ball joints are like this. Hell it can change from year to year with the same model truck. You need to be specific and say what year and model of truck you are working on. You are going to have people thinking they can tackle this job and their truck is totally different, then they screw something up.
