It will be all day i'm sure cause that is how things tend to go, haha. if you don't know anything that's fine your still welcome to come over and make some commentary. i'm sure i will be able to give you some fodder for the podcast. and the address is.
It would be nice to have a headcount on Thursday or Friday so i can get pizza accordingly

Offline I assume you mean this upcoming weekend. I cant do friday but might be able to swing by for a little on saturday. I have a balljoint press you can borrow though. Just meet me somewhere on 50 to pick up. PM me if you need to borrow it.
Ball joints are straightforward but scary how much force it takes to pop them out. Think 2 ft breaker with a 3 ft cheater pipe (shouldn't use an impact gun on the press). Search online for a copy of a Factory Service Manual and they will have the diagrams for ball joint removal.

I can do thursday evening in Folsom. If you do end up renting the press remember to rent the 4x4 adapters with the press (second box at autozone and Orielly). Ive pressed JK/WJ ball joints into an XJ housing for a WJ knuckle swap so I have the correct adapters in my kit. Specifically they were synergy ball joints.

Offline Tear down is the hard part.
And not to steal Brads line but this weekend also happens to be my wife's bday weekend.
If you guys have questions don't hesitate to call me. if you do have an issue I may be able to sneak out for a few Saturday morning. - also YouTube can be your friend.

Yes it was a pain, just an extra pair of eyes would have helped. as i got the passenger side all together and realized that i forgot to put the bolt for the speed sensor. then i got it all together again and it was making a weird noise cause the spring was not in the cup right so i had to pull the wheel off and droop the suspension to get it in the correct place. but its all good now, going to take it in for an alignment this week sometime
