Got the new spindle studs installed and new balljoints in.

The studs have a cuttout on the head. have the cuttout facing toawd the center. its there so it wont interfere with the axleshaft. however even with it in different i dont think it will interfere. the original studs on it werent angles in any special way.

I used a hammer and air chisel to put the studs in as much as i can. that way they dont spin when you press them in. Putting a lubricant on the slines of the stud and in the holes will make them go in easier. Use a few washers and one of the nuts to pull the studs into place. dont overtighten them tho, ive had them strip,break without much force. Even striped one of my new ones.

I used a baljoint press loaner tool avalible thats avalible at almost any autopart store with the loaner tol program. popped the old ones out and new ones in. clean the hole before pressing the new ones in and use a lubricating oil to help them go in correctly and easily.
