ball joints help needed on 50 ish Ford
I was going to replace all ball joints on my 57' but first ......how the hel do ya get the things out? There is no eng. in it now, no skins on, ez access, but it looks like one threaded bolt (middle one) and two big *** rivets holding each BJ on.... Is that right? or maybe i'm not seeing it right.....

Most original ball joints were riveted in.....You drill them out, the new ones come with bolts.

Its easy to do, just grind off the top of the rivet and pop them out with a punch. Then run a 5/16 drill through the hole to fit the new bolts.
