BigSi:
Hoping to change the rear prop, track rod and drag link this weekend. Do I need a special extractor to disconnect the ball joints (LRT-57-018)?

Any hints and tips would be most appreciated! :-k  :-k  :-k  :-k

extreme90:
2lb lump hammer works for me
if it wont come off that way and you dont have a ball join splitter, apply some pressure on the tube close to the trackrod end with a jack, then hit the trackrod end it should pop of then

Any light commercial ball joint extractor will do the job. Or just shock the joint by belting the shoulder they sit in with a large hammer. they should then pop off!

That's the best way...give the shoulders a good couple of taps & ball joints will pop out.  :wink:
