Matt started the topic Lower Ball Joint in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 6 years, 8 months ago
As I was doing my annual repacking of my front wheel bearings I noticed some play in my front left lower ball joint. Any advice on the best source for replacement parts and any tips on replacing it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -

I got the weatherstripping removed without hurting it. Also got he headliner out in good shape. As long as it cleans up good I will reuse it. The car was smoked in so it is stained really bad. I sure hope to reuse the headliner and also marked the holes that the bows come out of so I can put it back right were it was. I am glad to see the roof…[Read more]

If you’re able to find one, the factory manual lists tool #J-7898-01 for the reveal molding trim removal. Here’s the factory manual page with a photo and instructions how to use it.

Thanks for the information Mac. I will check them out. My trim was even all the way around and I am sure the back glass has never been out so I am assuming that I have to have the different lengths of clips.

[quote quote=14921]Eric, how did you get the glass out without cutting the gasket? Steel Rubber has the gaskets but I don’t know how good they are. Does the window trim come out with the window and gasket? Or did you remove the trim first? I would guess Ebay is the best source for the clips but you have to know what other GM car would use them t…[Read more]

Mac85 that’s great info. There must be a tool or a way to make a tool to remove the trim from the clips without breaking them.

I believe the back window in the Jetfire and Cutlass is the same, both 1962 and 1963. Here are some excerpts from the ’63 factory service manual for the back window. Steele does make the back window gasket. I used one and it worked great, no leaks. Here’s a copy of the Steele instructions. All of my trim clips for the top and side trim pie…[Read more]

Look it up on Ebay. This was the Red Jetfire, black vinyl top, Silver interior that Fred bought from a junk yard in CA. and was discussed on this site. No turbo. I looked hard at it in 2016 at Fred’s house to try to save it, but passed on it as too far gone to restore to original. He had already chopped the A arms for the wheels to fit but the r…[Read more]

We do need access to it. I don’t know anything about how forums work. I just sent Rick and email to see if he can add one.

My quest is to reuse as much as I possibly can on this car so disassembly is taking much longer than usual. I was able to get the back glass out without hurting the rubber seal and was also able to get the package tray out without hurting the foam rubber or vinyl on the front edge. I also got the insulation under the package tray out and will…[Read more]

I can’t edit the last post. The hard to see number is .306 NOT what is posted in the last post. The first post is correct but hard to see the numbers.

The .360 did not show up well in the above ones so here is another one where you can see the number better

Here is a better drawing of the BT33-2 transmission tool that people are always looking for. I posted a rough drawing a while back and found a number was off and was missing some needed information to make one. These two pictures should get you what you need if you are going to make one.
