1994 b4000 ball joints
Hello,
just looking for some help here. Ive recently been told by a mechanic that i needed a bunch of work done on the front end of my truck if I wanted to pass the safety check. So I decided to do the work myself since I didn't want to pay 1500$. I got all the easier stuff done but once I tried the ball joints I got stumped.
I undid the upper ball joints with minimal problem, they were a little seized (its a 1994, nothing unexpected) but once i got to the lower ones I couldnt get them out. I have limited experience with ball joints, I looked for a C clamps, doesn't look like there are any. Anyways... so even with the ball joint press couldn't get them out. Either they are seized beyond my expertise or there is a trick I dont know.
Anyone can provide a detailed walkthrough?
I dont have any pictures at the moment by if you need any to help me I will upload some.
Thanks for whatever advice you might have.
