I purchased an entire front end bushing/tie rod/ball joint set for my
Van.  The Bentley lists several specialty tools for removing/pressing
the bushings and tie rods.  For an experienced weekend automotive tech
how long will this take?  I have a decent set of tools and air tools but
no hydraulic press.  Also will the front rotors have to be removed to
take out the bottom ball joints?  I just recently replaced the front
rotors and bearings.

 

PS  It was great to hear from some listee's in the southeast!

 

Thanks,
