Project86- My first (and probably not the last) Rebuild

[project86]

so i finally decided to get the hub off. Here it is in all its glory. Im gonna have to replace the ball joints and pretty much everything else that connects there too. I can't believe how expensive just the steering rack boots are... ugh

anyway. am i gonna have to have someone with a hydraulic press, press in the ball joints or can i muscle them into the new hub.

The 5 bolt hubs i have seem to rotate pretty smoothly... I think i made that word up .... so should i for go replacing the bearings in there?

I would run them. Get em out on the highway or traveling and check for hot lugs etc. Its not to hard to tear it all down.
