71 Swinger Ball Joint/Control Arm Question

Changing ball joints wasn't too bad for me. I left the arms on the care and I rented the socket and just had to use a 4' section of pipe as a cheater bar to get enough leverage to turn it. Luckily my threads were in good shape. and the new ones went back in just fine.

Bushings were more challenging. I don't have a press so I made a tool to remove them using a scrap piece of exhause pipe, some all thread and large washers.

It would definately be easier to just buy some, but where's the fun in that. :)
