Quick tip for everyone.If you are changing ball joints on a 83 gmc an you are trying to get the old ones out. (press in) After beating on one for a few min because they won't move, TRY GOING THE OTHER WAY!! 2 friggen hours later,when I finally smartened up, it took about 30 seconds to pop out!
DOH!

the haynes manual didn't specify which way to push?
I have the OTC ball joint master kit if you want to use it.
