OK, i got it out and pressed the new one in.


Next:

1) How to lube balljoints?

2) How often?

3) What type of grease?   (please be brand specific as well)

You should have gotten a grease fitting with your new ball joint. Use a grease gun and grease it with any high temp chassis wheel bearing grease.

there should be a threaded hole on bottom of Ball Joint to screw a zerk fitting in.
