Smile "Carpark King" or "I need a hoist"
Decided to replace my Ball joints this morning (OK - had the decision made for me - Whilst driving home last night my front drivers side wheel did its own little death wobble dance- Lol)

So I jacked it up early this morning at work 5am!
Couldnt budge the succer a micro millimeter - so I rang the one and only deadset Jeep Legend / Guru - Dave Woodley "Wooders" and he kindly lent me his ball joint tool!

all seemed to be going well until i realised that i had pressed the bolt outta the top of the ball joint @#@%$@# - is this a bad thing? - see pic below

Anyway with much muttering and swearing I finally got the old ball joint out!

How the hell do you get the new one in??????????? - so I figured if it (the old one) pressed out I could press it (the new one) back in! - easier said than done!

BTW did I mention I that I didnt take off the disc or brakes or pulled out the axel - had some oil leak issues and just recently had the seals replaced so didnt want to disturb them!

OK It was a shed of a job to do in on the lawn at work! lol
but at least I am mobile again!
enjoy laughing at my pix
cheers Hunty
ps
Jk ball Joints & TJ ball joints are the same - cause I just installed TJ joints in my Heap!

Smile Wheelin @ the Watto's 3_2011
Hey!
I just had a great day out wheelin at the Wattagans!
I also got to hear one of my least favourite sounds whilst wheelin - i.e... the sound of cold steel pretzeling under too much horsepower - sadly for Ians Flatfender his V8 ford powered 1942 Jeep destroyed the yoke that connects the tail shaft to the diff - listen to sound on the video - unmistakeable! (hey Geoff! LoL)

I also had some fun playing in the mud - had to winch myself out - "Oh Yeah baby - love playing in mud - NOT"

Ended up pulling Ians heap up & out of the Watto's - & was surprised how much lighter it was than Geoff's JK - possibly something to do with the TANK like approach Geoff takes when he re engineers his rig! LoL
enjoy the vids
cheers Hunty

There was a member on here who didn't use jack stands just one time as he was only working on his trailer.

Hes not here anymore.

Using just a hi-lift for the kind of mods shown is just insane.
