Hello all,
Ran into an issue, upper ball joints appear to be riveted in. How do I get them out? There was one nut I could remove but they are still in solid. I will work on the lowers while I wait for an answer. Thanks Mark |

Like John says you can use a hammer and a punch. Or an air chisel with a punch type head is helpful if you have one to drive the rivets out once you cut the heads off. Once the rivets are knocked out you can remove it.
