How do i change ball joints on a 1991 chevy s-10 pick up?

Jack up the truck, remove the tire, remove the steering knuckle and press out the old ball joint. Then press in the new ball Joint and put the rest of it back together.


Change both the upper and the lower.


But be very careful with the spring. It can get dangerous if you don%26#039;t know what your doing.|||Go to a mechanic and ask to borrow a ball joint tool. Just say that and the mechanic will know what you want. You will need a hammer and you have to hit it till it gives way. If the mechanic won%26#039;t lend you one then you will have to go to a auto shop and get one.|||go to local auto parts store and buy a repair manual for your type and year vehicle.this should tell you all the tools and parts you need to replace the ball joints if it is a 2 wheel drive.|||depends which one. the top one you have to drill the rivits out and then bolt the new one in. technically pretty easy. the bottom one i think might be pressed i never replaced one yet.
