So this little piece needs to come off also???

I have the spindle off that is the end of the Axle shaft that is sticking out.

I am trying to put new ball joints in my 3/4 truck and cannot get the damn things out!!!! The old ball joints will not come out tried everything that I can think of here is a pic.And also I figured while I have it tore down so far I would put new u-joints in it and cant get them apart...

I have 3 ton jack stands that work very well plus I leave the jacl under as well. Here is a pic of the front end with the tire off. I think I have the ball joint figured out. , just need to figure out the front brake calipers. How do they come off.Thanks Joe

Cool will have to give it a try.Thanks Joe

My next days off I am goin to replace upper and lower ball joints on my F350. I did a search on it in here and am wondering if I need to rent me a ball joint press for this year of truck. All the search threads I have read are on new trucks. It is 4wd. I do have a ford wrench (BFH):o...
