Well it appears my lower balljoints are shot. I was wanting to get some advice on the best way to go about replacing them. Let me state that I've never worked on a D60 before.
I know I have to remove the calipers, rotors, hubs and spindles prior to the knuckles coming off. I have the auto locking hubs. What should I be wary of while disassembling them?
Are there any other parts I should replace besides the balljoints while I have them apart?
What if any special tools do I need to disassemble and reassemble the hubs?
I know a balljoint removal tool would be useful. I also have relatives who are Snap-On truck drivers. What should I be asking them for to assure I get the right tools?
Sorry for the dumb questions. I just haven't worked on much 4x4 stuff in my life yet. That's all changing however.
