I've only ever had to change two pins on ball & trunnion joints, both times had them pressed out by a local shop with a 20-ton hydraulic press though I don't recall how much pressure was actually required.


Thanks dude, feed back keeps me going ;0) especially the good kind.

you don't want to know what i had to do to get the pin out. i had to use a 2 foot cheater bar on top of the 1 foot that was on the arbor. then once i go it half way out that wouldn't work anymore, so i took my 3 pound sledge to the top of the arbor pin.....that work great....aim.....and slam really hard. just make sure you support the drive shaft right cause you don't want to bend things up. it was even harder putting it back in....had to get really really creative. working alone doesn't help either.
