diff drop/ball joint flip

[raver_boi_88]

You'll have to remove your steering center link to drop the differential.

My differential is already out... I removed the whole thing about a month ago, prop shaft cv's, diff, brackets, everything.... I was very frustrated...

Do NOT use a ball joint fork - go get a pitman arm puller & a BFH.

As I remember any more of those little tidbits, I'll pass them along.

This is also good to know I was just gonna us a ball joint fork on my air hammer but now I guess its back to the old tried and true method of using a sledge...

I have done this many times, spend the cash to get the nicest pitman arm puller available, it is worth it. You still even with this might have to use the hammer :-)

& when you put it back together, add some anti-sieze so it'll be easier next time.

Tom, I was just wondering if welder guy can still do the diff drop brackets?

Yah but you're better off with Joe Darlington. I'm sure he has a quicker turn around time. If he needs a set to modify, I've got em sitting in my garage.

Lemme know after you talk to Darlington.
