started my ball joint replacment
I am done what a PIA. I used the Ball joint press from Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WMR-W89304/ it made the u-joint change a lot easier too. Things I have learned. 1) Make sure you have the right parts before you leave the parts store and that all the clips, dust shields and fittings are in the both boxes. 2) When changing ball joints if the hubs were never changed before. Plan on getting U-joints, Hubs and upper and lower ball joints, Dust shield. Look at your CAD fork too you may need a new one. How are your rotors and pads? Thanks to all who did write ups on this they helped a lot.

started my ball joint replacment
I started my ball joint replacement today. It took a while to find the 1-11/16 socket. All the sears around me were out of them and the parts stores wanted 40$+. I am down to removing the Hubs. I tried the socket and power steering trick to no avail. Sledge hammer did not work either. Hubs have had a daily dose of PB blaster since Wednesday. Going to try a portapower tomorrow. I think I can get in to bite on the outer C. any other suggestions? Any homemade hub pullers? Do the Hub pullers push on the axle shaft? I have searched both forum and could not find much. Thanks Eric

Ball joint dilemma
Well guess I have my answer. I will replace the wheel bearing. Just the sensor cost 148$ or so and the bearing(225$) comes with a sensor. Why replace just the sensor and a year or so replace the bearing that comes with a sensor. anyone use summit's Auto Extra 379-515063 -Wheel Hub and Bearing Assemblies? thanks for the input.

Ball joint dilemma
Ok here is my dilemma my truck had just turned 100,000k. I have been having trouble with the ABS when I go to pull in to a parking spot or roll up to a stop sign my brake pedal push back hard and I can’t stop. I was told it may be a sensor, my mechanic said it also could be ball joints or bearings too. I have had it disconnected the ABS for a long time. Now I need to put in ball joints, they are real bad, Should I just change out the hub too. I don’t have the extra money for this. Or should I just do the ball joints and see what happens. I guess my question is how long can you go on stock wheel bearing? The Hubs do come with an ABS sensor right? Thanks for your input Eric Ps what’s the adjustable ball joints for?

Air dog problems?
i have the AD 150 with a straw. i have been running 17 psi all the time.all the way to empty. just lately i noticed that now it drops pressure when comming to a hard stop at 1/4 tank of fuel. like to 5 or less just for a sec the right back up to 17psi. I did just put a needle valve on the line to the gauge, and it's open a little. can this valve be causing my problem? and is it ok to drop pressure for a sec or two? i going to open the valve full open untill i get fuel tomarrow.

Mopar1973Man's Crankcase Vent Modification
I started to do the mod. But I thought the 90 degree SOC X MPT was to connect the hose to. Then was lost on how to do the back.(It’s been a while since I read this post.) I see that there are many ways of doing this mod. My question is are there any down falls to using about 2 ft of heater hose for the down pipe on the rear? I would just get another SOC X MPT. Maybe step up to a 5/8 hose for the rear.?
