    Nah, you prolly did. IIRC I used a box end on mine & it worked. I just didn't read that it was supposed to be torqued when installing ... till I was done.

    Whoa, no pitman puller needed! Just hit the control arm where the taper goes in and it will pop loose after you remove the castle nut. Don't hit the ball joint itself, its too cheap, but the control arm is diesel. It will take a pretty good whack to get it off, but it works like a champ. Learned that at a Uwharrie meet from Joe D or Peter, I don't remember which.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
