Quick Question

So tomorrow morning I am going to install my new cv axles, ball joints and rotors. Did anyone have to use a Ball Joint tool or did they just pop out with couple nice wacks?

Replacing ball joints...just beat it out. Couple of good wacks and it'll pop right off. Only reason you might take trouble to use a tool is to protect the threads. If it's busted, who cares? Example, on tie rod ends when doing hub work and will be reusing.
