Ball Joint Replacement: I used the rental tool to press out the old ball joint and press in the new one. When pressing out the old ball joint the key is to properly set up the press, tighten the screw on the press, then give the screw a few good solid blows to shock the old ball joint. Once I did this the old ball joint pressed out almost effortlessly. Installation of the new ball joint was a breeze. The only comment is be extremely careful not to damage the axle boot seals. Have wire on hand to tie the spindle assembly and axle for support to prevent damage to the brake hoses and ABS system.

How do you remove a 1997 GMC Safari upper ball joint?
Actually the upper one is the easiest, Jack up the vehicle, remove the tire, remove the nut on the end of the ball joint, sometimes you have to cut the nut to remove it. I have found at this point it easier to cut the rivets off the top of the balljoint (the new will have bolts) using either a chiesel and hammer or an air hammer, using a ball joint seperator separate the joint from the steering knuckle at this point you shoud be able to pull the ball joint straight up from the A-arm just reverse the procedure making sure to use all the new attaching hardware and be sure to torque everything to spec's

Remove control arm from vehicle. If ball joint is pressed, use ball joint press (or hammer) to remove ball joint. If it is held in by rivits, destroy rivits and remove ball joint. Bushings may be removed and installed with ball joint press; use your head (ie: you can use a socket if there is not a ball joint press adapter that fits control arm bushing, etc.). Install new bushing STRAIGHT! Install all other parts in reverse order of removal. You should get an alignment after finished.
