when using the fork make sure you use a 2 kilo hammer, the normal 16 ouncers wont cut the mustard....

I have urethane replacement dust covers if you plan on reusing the old
ball joint. You must have destroyed the original rubber dust cover
unless your reeeeeely good swinging that hammer.

Steve, just a short time and the rubber is gone on the new front end
parts, like less than a year, all must be made in China.

I need a set for my coach, when you get time send me a set all are
gone just sitting there.

I will send check, let me know how much and you addy.

I should have added that I might be making a jaunt to Mesa and if I
do, I can save you some shipping.
