Hello,
My celica didn't pass the yearly test because of a worn ball joint cover and the light adjustment. I'm wondering though how to replace the ball joint? Can't find a write up about it unfortunately so i don't know how much work is involved with it. Is it also possible to just change the boot for an aftermarket one? Thanks! -------------------- |

So it has been done
 Biggest problem was for the pin to come out. It was completely stuck. So we drilled the pin out. A friend of mine had a ball joint puller and that was really handy The pin was taking 30 minutes of our time i guess...remounting maybe 15 minutes i think. The air tools were also handy for removing, but even more for mounting it. Thanks for all the help guys!
