New upper joint pressed in. Look in far middle and you can see the press and cup I used to get it in. Take the grease cap off the ball joint first so not to damage it. Remember, this time around put the upper in first, then the lower. I read a tip on some other web page with ball joint instructions to put the new ball joints in the freezer a while you're taking apart the front end. They're frozen and shrink just a bit, making it easier getting them in. I did it, and installing them wasn't bad at all...
Once the both ball joints are in, install the zerks for greasing and grease them up. I didn't have a gun, so I got one locally for $20. Remove the zerks and save for later use. They need to come out due to clearance issues, especially for the upper ball joing. Right under it is where the axle U joint is spinning.
