Anyone have any advice or tricks to make it go smoothly? I'm very mechanically inclined, but I've never had to replace ball joints on anything I've owned. I suppose there's a first time for everything, right? The left one fell apart on me yesterday, luckily it was 5 minutes after I got off the highway... Here's what she looks like. I'm assuming some heat & a good set of pliers to hold the stud will let me get the nut off pretty easily? Or should the stud not turn since it's still seated?
