Hi all
Is there anybody close to peterborough who could help remove and re-install the upper balljoints in my 68 Satellite.
I've got the arms out and I've got new balljoints.
Cheers
Ralph

Pretty sure a mate of mine in Wisbech has got all the Mopar bj sockets, I'll give him a call.

You may find it easier to bolt the arms back onto the car to make sure that you can get sufficient leverage without distorting them. The old ball joints are likely to need a fair amount of effort to remove if they've been on the car for years.

Ralph, I've spoken to my mate & he is happy for you to borrow the appropriate socket, I'm away until second week of January though so if you're in a hurry pm me & I'll put you in touch. Also as Gareth said easier to do with the arms on the car.
