I Pri messaged you about this.

 

THANKS ALOT IT WILL HELP ME OUT>> DUSTY

 

Sweet write up; gonna have to save this one for when my day comes. thanks

 

I feel your pain!!!!! I've done one side so far and I'm taking a mental breather untill I do the other! LMAO!!!!! 2 hints, 1) DOn't drink. You'll never get it done! 2) Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! I went through a pack and a half just doing one side! Arrrgggg! Good luck!

 

Me too, only got the driver's side done, I think a mental break is needed as well. The passenger side on mine is still tight, I replaced upper and lower, but only the upper was bad. It took me almost two hours to get the bottom one out. Bent the crappy press too.

 

Ya I did my drivers side the I decided to try to start the passengers side but the bearing hub set WOULD NOT budge!!! In fear of desroying it and having to spen $250 on a new one I left it alone for another day

 

That looks like the press tool I have, but it wasn't big enough by the time you put all the needed adapters on, this was after slicing one of the cups in half. When installing the new ones, I just used a socket that fitted around the edge of the joint and a BFH.

Anyone know of a big enough press tool?

The first go-round is always a PITA, make sure to clean everything and go crazy with anti-sieze. This will make future repairs soooooo much easier.
