A funny thing happened

[olbod]

I was on my way to buy a new 12ton press ( $199 ) when I stopped off at Landrover spares to pick up a new A frame balljoint.
Trevor told me not to buy the cheap $88 ones but put
in an adjustable, greasable Maxi, which he stocks.
I told him about goin to buy the press, an he said no need !
The heavy original cast fitting that they press into only
costs $10 ! He pressed the thing at no charge so now
I only have to undo the bolts and refit the new one,
which I shall do on Wednesday. Cant find my inch and an eighth socket that fits the balljoint nut so had to go and buy a new one. Probably find it on Thursday, eh.
Cheers

Good bit of info but it wouldn't have helped me change mine as it was the taper that was wedged in placec:mad:

I believe i saw it at Landrover spares with an engine problem one day a year or 2 ago.

If so i think that it might be the same one my dad had. I went quite well but didn't have quite enough space for what he wanted to do. A county solved that.
