Need your opinion : Lower ball joints
So as I was talking in previous posts...a buddy of mine and I went into his garage to get both the axles on my CL swapped...just letting you guys know that no major problems were hit and the swap went considerably smooth (God bless Pneumatics)...
The only concern I have is that while removing the lower ball joints, we used a pickle fork...that made some grease out of the boot...the boots are all right...like there is not a crack on it..My question is..Is that gonna be OK ?? or should I be concerned about lack of grease..??
Help is appreciated..ohhh and BTW...I am changing my left rear caliper tomorrow..also flushing the brakes..the fluid is kindda muddy and dirty...If time permits I also have to change the heater control valve cause it is leakin coolant..I will post on how it goes...thanks ya'll...

thanks man...
I did swap the rear left caliper..easy job to get through with...My hand brake was having problems for a last few weeks...I had a leak on my rear left caliper..thought that was the reason..but I saw that the arm on the right rear caliper was jammed...the left is fixed...right was the problem...when I pull the hand brake the wire moves if free...but the arm refuses to budge..any ideas as to how to get it freed..I poured some brake fluid on it..I was thinking of putting oil in it..but I didn't wanna contaminate the brake fluid just in case fluid decides to leak into the caliper...
anywho...just throw your opinions in...I can use any of them...I am thinking of may be using light blows with a hammer....
