I am still having trouble getting my lower ball joints out of this truck (95 SR). FastEddy suggested that I may still have too much "crank" in the torsion bar, so tonight I will be trying to let as much out as possible to get enough clearance to get them out. I went so far as to knock the upper ball joint loose so the knuckle is free, but I can't seem to maneuver the knuckle enough to get the threaded part of the lower ball off the spindle. For the record, the adjuster for the torsion bar is backed way off, but it looks like there's still more thread left so that's next...

And, of course, with the front sway bar on (don't even go there, it's staying on for now!), I can't get a socket (32mm) on the nut for the Pitman arm, so I get to buy another wrench!
