And the HFH works very well in this situations, as well.

 

this is how to replace lower ball joints on 2000 ford expedition 4wd and Im sure f150 pickup 4wd remove hub cover from wheel loosen center hub nut and lug nuts jack up truck under control arm remove tire and brake assembly then remove rotor then remove bearing assembly {three bolts on back side of spindle assembly} loosen upper ball joint nut and tap with hammer to pop ball joint up repeat for lower ball joint and tie rod after loose then remove nuts and seperate tie rod upper ball joint and lower ball joint remove steering nuckle use a ball joint press to remove and install lower ball joint and repeat steps in reverse to complete job at least thats what i did and this is the first time i ever worked on a ford it took three hrs to complete

 

But, what I really did was go to Pep Boys and rent the ball joints removal tool and use it to remove both lower ball joints while doing my suspension lift.

 

Hey I need to know how to get my driver side cv axle off. It's broken at the joint inside the boot and I get the front half to stop spinning but the side that's connected to the front gear box spins while trying to get the bolts off. Any ideas?!?!?

 

Would it help to put it in 4x4? An impact wrench might do the job if that is available. Normally you would get a helper to hold the brake or loosen the bolts before lifting the truck. With a broken axle, I'm not sure.

 

Yea was kinda my thought maybe putting it into 4wd. But also once I get those 6 bolts off does it just sit flush or is there A spindle that goes in?

 

Ha. A 10 year old thread about ball joints, and you're asking about cv axles.

 

It is flush. Watch this video. youtube is your friend.
