Great video, this is exactly how i did my ball joints and whole front suspension, even added a sway bar while i was there. I had just as fun doing it on my 72. I was rolling around like a 12 year old and in my 30s 🤣. Inspect and change anything while you have it disassembled.

Great video the only thing I would like to note is how stressed that front brake hose was and it may blow from the extra stress it received. Time stamp roughly 26:55 I like to separate the caliper from the spindle and use a bent up welding rod to support just the caliper. I even did this taking mine apart knowing it was getting new brake hoses since I wanted to not tear the lines apart until i had a chance to actuate the brakes pushing the pistons out of the bore for rebuilding
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад
At the same time stamp you'll notice there is a coat hanger attached to the caliper. The assembly up until that point was suspended and no stress was on the hose. It wasn't until Dave started to try and line up the ball joint that the hose got tugged on. Ideal, probably not, but it didn't get tugged enough to compromise it or we would have changed it out. Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

Great video! What type of grease did you use on the shaft bushings? I just switched out the shift linkage on my 72 and discovered that one of the bushings is missing on my upper control shaft, and has zero grease around the threads. I got the new bushings coming in and want to make sure I dont make the same mistake the first installer made.

High pressure grease works best. We use one from Lucas Oil, but you can use whatever is available locally.

Can you give a quick lesson on how to remove and install the rivets for the lower A-arm guide? Reason i ask, there aren't any videos of installing them. The rivets I have in mine are not all round and do not fit in the A-arm guide holes. I can try grinding the rivets to round them out and hopefully that solves my issue.

It should be very tight. The reason it wasn't tight when you pulled it apart is because it was worn.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад
C10 arms won't work, the C20 ball joint is a different size (larger) and you can't press a C20 joint into a C10 arm. You COULD convert the entire front end to C10/Half ton, but that would require doing the upper and lower arms plus spindles brakes, etc... Ebay, Craiglist and Salvage yards are your best shot at finding C20 arms.
