to add to Randy's post:
just to give you a heads up on the tool. i got a different one then hotswimmer (randy).
This is the one i got:
if you notice the one in the writeup, the bolt is in the middle of the two pieces. mine is on the bottom. for me to get mine to work, i had to turn the steering wheel a bit to get the right angle in there. it also helped i have a 4 lbs shorty studge hammer to "tap" (i use that word liberally) it in there AFTER i pealed the rubber boot on the bottom of the ball joint DOWN so the FORK would wedge itself in there.
worked like a charm and scared the piss out of my friend... actually, we were doing this on this car. i'm just going to do the bushing part.
