Looking at the underside of an 06 chevy duramax 4x4. Replacing ball joints and tie rod ends yesterday. I have had this press tool kit for 25+ years.

It has worked well to remove and install ball joints since. A couple of shots while in use.
Removing the upper ball joint.

I had to use a different tool to remove the lower ball joint. The press does not work for those. But a big Hammer does. I hammered the crap out of the old one. I think I need a bigger hammer. But it finally came out. I must be getting old, I don't swing a hammer like I used to. This one took me a while to remove. A couple of missed swings, but nothing a file could'nt fix.

I hammered on it pretty hard. New vs. old.

The upper was a lot easier than the lower to do. Anyway it is all back together now.
Anyone coming near those carts is going to be chased...
At least it is not a pan handler with a sign. I bet it gets a lot of free food. Put an egg or two under it and it may get more.Anyone coming near those carts is going to be chased...
How long before working out your frustrations towards others turned into "this sonofabitchinemmereffingrazzafrazzin..."? Never had one of those go nicely, and that's one of the few things I won't request a shop helper (wife character). Better for the marriage that way.
