Re: Having a ball with a joint....

["Graydon D. Stuckey" <graydon@apollo.gmi.edu>]

Guys,

	I have removed the ball joints from the control arms a few times 
on a couple different cars, and every timme, they just fell out with a 
very little persuasion with a big hammer on the control arm.  I ONCE 
pulled the control arm out of the subframe - NEVER AGAIN!  It was H*** 
getting it back in.  BTW, the subframe is very easy to remove.  It never 
takes me more than a half hour or so.

	I Installed the transmission last night on my neighbour's 5KCSTQ. 
It was difficult because the transmission is heavy and there isn't much
room, but otherwise, went fairly easily.  Now I have to install the rest 
of the upgraded suspension, and reattach everything to the transmission, 
adn take it for a drive.  But, that will have to wait until next week - 
I'm racing this weekend. :-)
