My bad,:doh: I was pushing the wrong direction on the lower ball joint. 
Well, I'll fire up :greensmok the space heater in the AM (kerosene =$9/gal.= 3-4 hrs) and heat the garage back up from 35 degrees to 60 degrees.:flamemad:
I will then reverse things and push downward to remove the lower ball joint, not upward.:yelclap:
Frank, thanks for pointing this out, I owe you one.:cheers:
If things go good and I get it all back together today, I'm gonna
arty: tonight. Actually, go shoot some pool.

New ball joints installed. :rof:
No zirk fitting on my grease gun, don't know where to find it (which toolbox?). Oh well, I'll get to that later (sure...).:anon:
Now to turn pages in my Chiltons to gather torque specs, onward!!:wave:

Don't forget to grease the lower ball joints and replace the zirk with the supplied plug BEFORE you put the shafts back in.

ALL DONE!
Frank, there were no zirk for the lower and no place to put it. :eyes:
The top of the ball joint was flat, with no indention for a zirk grease fitting. :eyes::bawl:
Also the lower castle nuts were smaller in size(3/4"?)
so I put the older nuts back on 'cause I bought a socket just to fit them. :dunno:
Could have used a pipe wrench to take them off, they were not very tight., not the 100 ft lbs asked for in the Chiltons. :huh:
Now to clean up then take it for a test drive,:explosion
I hope I don't need an alignment right away....:repair:
