Failed inpsection for "wheel rock" - ball joints. Probably a good thing though..it need to be done, and failing just forced the issue. I spent a probably good 20 hours and about $250. Tried to do it over a long weekend, but I ran into obligations, and years old rust. Plus I like to take my time too. I've never done it before...

Put the front end on stands and take the wheels off, as well as the brakes. Tie the caliper back with some wire. Take off the 4WD hub cover. I've got auto locking hubs. Check the next pic for taking them out.
