Ball joint removal and install tool for GM vehicles

30 years ago, the owners manuals had the order form for the service manuals, and they were affordable. Now they want crazy money for them.
The best information I've found is on youtube where multiple videos can be found for simple techniques to access and change out stuff that should have been simple.

I agree on the cost of shop manuals.
As for youtube some people offer sketchy info, I watched a fellow assemble a front beam axle for a ‘30s era Ford and he put the bearings between the top of the axle and the spindles instead of bellow the axle. Since the bearing is used to carry the weight and make it easier to steer, he must have had an interesting test drive.
I usually watch several videos on the same top then pick the best info from each.

I always enjoy Frank’s posts, simple and to the point, and no 30 minute video sometimes without a demonstration of the unit in use.
