Well...
I got to admit its not to hard to rebuilt a 1st Gen 2WD front end... I got to adimt its costly but not hard to do. But I got a suggestion to toss out for other 1st Gen owners that have to do ball joints. Heat the A arms (not the ball joint) up with a propane torch a bit. Then take a air hammer and a chisel bit and beat the ball joints out in a counter clockwise direction. Work excellent for me... When you get them out make sure to use a bit of mineral spirits to wipe out the hole this will make it easy for the new joints to screw in using a large pair of channel locks.
This happen to be Taz's truck...
