nOTe:
The following instructions apply to most GM, Ford, and Dodge 2 and 4 wheel
drive pickups, vans, and SUV’s through 1997 (see charts on pages 7 through 9).
The instructions are intended to illustrate the process in general terms, not to be
specific to any one make/model vehicle. A combination of Receiving Tubes
(parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11), Receiving Cups (parts 7 & 12), and Installing Tubes
(parts 8 & 9), will be necessary for different vehicles.
1. Remove all attaching hardware from the ball joint.
2. Mount the Remover/Installer (part 13) on the Forcing Screw assembly so that the
larger
diameter portion of the Remover/Installer faces the
threaded
hole of the
C-Frame, and the
smaller
diameter portion faces the
unthreaded
side of the ball joint.
(See Figure B, and Parts list on Page 10.)
3. Mount the proper size Receiver Tube (part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, or 11)
over the threaded side of the ball joint.
