Yeah thats the same problem i had the press from Advance Auto didn't have the right cups, had to cut a piece of pipe that was the right size. Mine took me about 9 hours but I didn't know what I was doing most of the way

I ended up getting a pipe adapter 1" to 3/4" coupler to pop the upper joint out. I still cannot get the lower joint to budge and am wondering which way the joint is removed.

the replacement joint comes up from the bottom, do you remember if the lower joint came out from the bottom or top?

should rename this thread Ball Joint Week... damn! got it all done, new uppers, new lowers, new axle ujoints. Go to fire it up and click click click! ARGH!

I just spent 1k on parts for the front end of that thing and now batteries are dead??? I'm hoping the wife left the key on when she was helping me but I wont count on it... she knows better.

I will let it sit on the charger overnight and see if I can get it fired up in the morning. It was doing ok prior to this past weekend. the last time I took it out, it seemed to fire up ok.
