I had watched that video and it is way oversimplified IMO because it did not show how much hammering was needed. Now I’m probably the worst DIYer out there too, but will try again sometimes this week.
Overboost did you successfully removed those BJs?

I did not replace them myself but I have heard it can be a lot of work. The arms alone corrected 95% of my wobble but 5% remains so I have them on my list. I have read that any wobble at speed is directly realated to these ball joints. I think it depends on the suspension components and how "weathered" they are. I know some of the northern guys have a real issue with rust on both the bolts and the joint removal.
