3 Gen Ekstensive LCA's Question?

or goto useenco.com and order a reamer. the unibit idea was funny.

Not sure on the ball joints, but you should be able to take the old one to the parts store and get them to match it. You know it's a chevy truck, so you should only have 4 or 5 to choose from at the most. I used a tool that snap on sells. Cost 45 and has a lifetime warranty here is the link: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=&item_ID=8154&group_ID=946&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog
Hope that helps.

The snap on tool worked great. Just used a 1/2 drill and some wd-40. Took my time, the spindles aluminum so the bit works pretty quick and it's pretty cheap, plus it has a lifetime warranty.
