  Q: How to replace the upper ball joint on GMC Sierra 3500?

  A:

  Begin the process by pulling off the tire then taking out the wheel followed by unscrewing the bolt that keeps the brake hose bracket attached to the axle. Insert j 44664 tool to loosen the upper Ball Joint nut on the Steering Knuckle then uninstall the Ball Joint retaining bolts and stud. Using the j 44663 tool to remove the Steering Knuckle upper Ball Joint stud lets you take out the upper Ball Joint from the vehicle. You should first set the upper Ball Joint onto the Steering Knuckle before using the retaining bolts and stud to secure it at 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.). Tighten the top Ball Joint nut to the Steering Knuckle by applying 200 nm torque using the j 44664 tool. Reinstall the axle bracket while securing the brake hose bracket with the bolt at 12 nm (106 inch lbs.). Put the new tire and wheel back in place before doing an automatic steer calibration.
