if you are trying to take the joint out of the yoke, you need to know out the C-clips and then use sockets and a hammer to know out the joint. Good luck. Ince you look sat it youll know what to do. |

u may want to take the yoke apart so you can get the engine in a better position, off the frame. then youl have a lot more room to work with. |

Go rent a balljoint press and you will thank yourself. You will need a 7/8" socket and an impact wrench and go to town. |
