New Mexico Owners BS Thread

I thought it was supposed to be in yesterday?

 

Hey Tom, do you have a ball joint separator? If not I'm pretty sure we can work out a way to do it.

 

Pigger loaned me a picklefork and a screw down type separator. I haven't verified if the screw down fits but will get to that tonight. Somebody had posted earlier that all they needed was a picklefork. Just separating at the spindle, don't need to remove the ball-joint from the UCA so I'm hoping it won't be difficult.

 

I forgot, is a grease gun going to be available? Let me know if not so I can pick one up on Saturday.

 

The UCA replaces the ball joint and uses a uniball in its place. The bag on the left UCA in your pic has the bolts and the spindle adapter. The ball joint separator is a C clamp type thing.

 

It was not the right on either... I I just had him bring out all of them and got one that was the best looking one... Diago helped me put it in today, now going threw the trans fill procedure. Hope I don't spring a leak.

 

Can't believe the shit you're going through for a seal. Clubbing baby ones seems easier.

Maybe we should have showed up at the dealership and pointed to it on the screen.

 

The one I got isn't a C clamp style but I think it'll still do the job. It looks like an "A" on its side. I'll post a picture later tonight and physically verify it can be mounted to the arm.

 

I also have a couple of big-ass C-clamps, if they would help.

 

Sounds like a puller. We can use that to take off the stock UCA from the ball joint. And Pigger sounds like we can make stuff so it'll work. Kinda wish I still my spindles so I can make an apparatus of sorts for the bottom of the ball joint, "a cup. "

 

I looked at the ball joint and now understand. I may see about a rental.

 

I got the foglights mounted tonight. Still have to wire them up though.

 

Looking good bro!!!

 

Thanks man!

How's Moab preparations going?

 

I have some pulley pullers and ball joint separators on hand if you need them.

Lights look good Tom!

 

Jim to the rescue!

 

The fork type separator. I may have the ones that are similar to pulley pullers, I'll have to go through my toolbox.

 

Ahh. Well if Tom doesn't get a rental... a socket, tube, thick washer, welder, and a c clamp would work.
