[DMCForum] Re: Removing ball joints to install Grady collars



To install the PJ Grady collar, Tom just tapped it in with a
hammer, no big deal.  We had the front of the car on jack
stands supported by the frame.  We used a floor jack to
support the lower control arm holding the spring compressed
so that we could pop the joint loose.  With the arm sitting
on a jack like this, we rested a 10lb sledge hammer on top
of the arm to give it some inertia/stability while Tom
tapped the collar in with a hammer.  I suppose that in Tom's
case, the reinforcement collar should have been smaller.
That would have compressed the sleeve a little more and
maybe have made it tight enough so that it wouldn't have
needed that shim he stuck in there.
