How to Safely Remove a Ball Joint on Dodge Ram 2500?

Before you remove the ball joint, raise the vehicle and support the axle, then take off the wheel and tire. After that, undo and remove the retaining nut on the upper ball joint and then use separator #9360 to pull the upper ball joint clear from the knuckle. Remove the wheel speed sensor wire from both the knuckle and the upper control arm and slide the knuckle out of the way so that you can deal with the ball joints. Loosen the boot that covers the ball joint and put a wooden block alongside the control arm and frame bracket so you can use the press tool. Applying a lot of lubricant to the threaded part of the tool will help it last and work properly when being removed or installed. Once all other steps are done, use special tools C-4212-F, 9770-1 and 9770-2 to press the ball joint on the upper control arm.

How to Properly Install and Service a Ball Joint in an Independent Front Suspension on Dodge Ram 2500?
