[BaadAssGremlins] 77 hornet ball joints

["Dan M." <vegadan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need to replace the lower ball joints on my car.  According to the 
Chilton's manual that I have, you have to remove the rotor/hub.  I was 
looking at my car and there appears to be enough room to remove the 
joints without removing the rotor.  Is this true?  Also, if I 
understand the manual correctly, I need to wedge a 5" long 2x4 between 
the frame and the upper control arm(?)  Do I place a jack under the 
lower control arm, and then jack it up until I can shove the 2x4 
perpendicular to the axis of the car under the upper control arm?  
And, once I get this all set up, is it difficult to grind the rivets 
off and then pop the joints out?  Sorry for all the questions, but 
this is a first for me.

Thanks,
Dan
