One rear ball joint done. The correct tool makes it easier. Other than Engine rebuilds and transmissions, you can really repair in day sessions, what needs to be done. I bought mine with 92k knowing I would need to do all this and glad it could take up to 8 hours for everything, while doing it from the ground on my back.

FYI, my ball joint was broken (tire wear) but could not wiggle the tire in and out once the air spring was deflated. Usual sign of a bad joint. Glad I went ahead and did it. 3 hours max each side. Replaced everything minus the sub frame bushing.
