:slap: This thing is getting a new life to be a nice truck again. It should be grateful! Either it'll play nice or I'm setting it on fire and walking away :crazy:- Old77

Yes, the lower ball joint slides into a pocket of sorts in there. Your carbide burr idea may be a good one. I'll keep that in mind as I conitnue to work through this thing. I'm going to attack it again as soon as I get home tonight and I'm not finishing until the truck is back together tonight...- Old77

Yeah, I only went this route on the uppers cuz the ball joints came with the truck. I told myself that if today I didn’t get the uppers done I was buying an upper arm tomorrow and moving on. Just didn’t want to spend the extra $150. I REALLY wish they made loaded lower arms for these K1500s...- Old77
