How to replace the upper ball joint on a light-duty suspension on GMC Savana 3500?

Begin replacing the upper Ball Joint of light-duty suspension by acquiring a Ball Joint separator tool j23742 first. Lift and stabilize the vehicle with safety stands while also supporting the lower Control Arm for secure work space. Remove tire and wheel first before moving to brake caliper. Detach the bolt and nut connecting wheel speed sensor harness bracket to the upper Control Arm and brake hose before taking out the upper Control Arm itself from the vehicle. Center punch two rivets that hold the Ball Joint to the Control Arm before drilling 5 mm deep holes using a 3.175 mm drill. Use a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) drill to cut away rivet heads and drive out rivets using a small punch from the center hole made by a 3.175 mm (1/8 inch) drill. Install a brand new upper Ball Joint onto the upper Control Arm by placing its four bolts and nuts correctly and then tightening the upper Ball Joint retaining nuts to 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs). Connect the upper Control Arm to the vehicle then harness and brake hose brackets using a 17 nm torque setting (13 ft. Lbs.) with the specified bolt and nut. Reinstall the brake caliper, place back the wheel and tire, inspect suspension movement spaces, take away the safety blocks and lower the car before testing wheel alignment settings.
