These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

If u go the autozone route you'll probably have to get the adapter set also, cause the cups and shit wont fit unless u do, thats why ppl are smashing them back in instead of using the press. Use old 13/16 deep socket to pound it out with a 3lb hammer after u remove the snap ring overwise you'll be pounding all day. Clean it up, get some multi purpose lube and use a breaker bar with your press adapter set and she'll go in smooth and straight and wont fuck the back of your bj up or go in crooked.

Getting the ball joint out was the hardest part. After that, it took maybe 2 minutes of pounding before it seated completely.
For removal "the right way" I'd go to harbor freight. They sell a tool (can't remember the name) that removes the ball joints with ease! And it's NOT a pickle fork. Don't ever use those.
IMO getting suspension parts from a junkyard is like buying used oil. Unless it's just a metal part, like a control arm.
Lastly; Get your ball joints from the Honda dealership. Always replace in pairs.MRT

The tool you need is a ball joint press. I rented mine from oriellys for 100 bucks but you get every penny back if you return it within two days. Makes the job really easy with the right tools. As for ball joints just hammer them back in with a hammer and a flat piece of 2x4. Best way to press out the ball joint is to take the entire arm out and put it in a vice when using the press.
