how do i change lower ball joint that is pressed in on a 99 tahoe
Get a manual first. It is a lot of work, requiring a big drill to remove the rivets that hold the ball joints in from the factory. Unless you are a capable mechanic with proper tools and safety knowledge of working with auto front ends, don't attempt it yourself.
You change the control arms, upper and lower. The ball joints are manufactured into the control arms.
Lower ball joints call for 1.7 hrs per side for labor, app. $50 per hour = app. $85 per side for labor.
The lower ball joints have to be pressed out. The upper ball joints are part of the control arm, so the complete upper assembly has to be replaced.
