QUESTION FOR UCA BALL JOINT SEPARATION

My sentiments exactly.
But
To a newbe, as in anyone reading this in the years to come, this in not a job that you can approach without some experience. Lonewolfs concerns are well-founded.
But
To those of us with experience,and working in a business environment, as, is/was, Lonewolf,sometimes/often,in front-end work, the torch can be your best friend.
I never worked for flat-rate, and the customers paid only for the work/time involved. My boss expected me to get the job done in a reasonably timely fashion.The torch often made this possible.I learned where to heat, how much to heat, and how hard to hit.I learned to use tools. I also learned when to stop and start over.This doesn't always happen on the first job thru the doors.
