Is this an easy repair or it is like the trooper I owned and they have to be pressed on?

I do mine with a vise and sockets. My aim ain't so great with a hammer. I use the vise at work. In and out without bruised fingers/hand.

You dont need a socket on both sides. Just get the joint in the vise and bang on the top most one with a socket and hammer. Then turn and repeat. Thats how I do it anyway.

1 socket & a vise will do..Once they are flush , use washers, or some thin spacer on opposite sides. Viola!..... you are done! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Nope, and if the C clip doesn't fit, sometimes they are a little too thick, go to Home Depot and there you will find a thinner one for less than $1.50. Replacing the joints is a breeze. Good luck, keep us posted on your progress. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Javy
