No, you cut the rivets and then the new ball joints bolt in using high grade bolts that come with them. To order the new joints you need to know approximately what car the front end came out of. I remember you said it wasn't original. In the old days, we used to chisel the heads off, then warm rivets up with a torch and drive them out with a hammer and punch. Now adays it's a lot easier with air tools. Air chisel the heads off and air punch the rivets out. Quick, easy and efficient.Originally posted by FMXhellraiser
One more quick question before I forget, my upper ball joint on the car is rivetted in instead of pressed in so does that mean I need a whole upper arm instead or what would I do if I drilled them out and took the old ones out, how would the new one's stay held in?Last edited by Oldf100fordman; 11-23-2004 at 12:53 PM.
