Original ball joint removal question
What is the easiest way to remove the original rivets in the upper ball joints? Chisel and hammer? Then just take a pickel fork to loosen the joints?
Thanks for the help.

Yep, same here, just did it yesterday. Once the ball joint is removed, grind down the rest of the rivit flush with the a-arm and drive out the head with a punch. You will need to drill the holes out bigger for the bolts that come with the new joint.
