Is it much of a job to replace the ball joint in the drop arm. Could i get away with a big F#%^ing hammer

what are you doing ? just the tie rod end on the rod or is your joint on the drop arm??

Jimmy it's not bad. About 30 minutes.....give or take.
Do you have an arm puller?....That can be a b_tch sometimes....

The arm isnt a biggie. You will need a puller but other then that its easy!! The ford boys should have what you need tho!!

The drop arm became loose a little while back so i don't think it would be hard to pull off, if i don't pull it i think the steering gaurd has to be removed. when it came loose it was only the gaurd holding it in place. plus i've never done one before and it'll be easier to see when out.
