DIY: '07 Front Lower Balljoint Replacement

Background: The joint itself was tight at 160K with moderate offroad abuse, but I knicked the boot during a front diff install and it was leaking grease.

Toyota only sells the LBJ as a package with the lower control arm. I'm not about to replace the entire arm and get the truck realigned for a simple ball joint. I typically try to stay OEM only for parts, but with no other options I used a Moog part. The actual how to is hosted on Youtube by a couple people, so I'm not going to bother with that. Mainly want to share what I found for tools that work and other tricks.

Tools:
I'm currently on work assignment out of state so I don't have my full shop of toys at home, I've got a Packout of handtools and a BFIG (Big F... Impact Gun), Milwaukee 1/2" high torque. The rest I've been using the local O'Reilly's loaner tool program. I found the rental ball joint press pushed the LBJ out just fine, but it didn't have the right sleeves to install the new one. I tried their press expansion kit along with the ones at Autozone and none had the correct size sleeve to press it back in.
Cue a trip to Harbor Freight. Their Maddox Ball Joint Service kit Add-on (11 piece) has the correct size needed. Using the "02#" sleeve got the LBJ started and flushed with the top of the control arm. I then had to cut down another piece "05#" to press the joint home. I trimmed the "05#" down just below the writing on the side with a 6" grinder, and it worked perfectly as a joint receiver tool in combination with the O'Reilly press.

O'Reilly Tools Needed: (most chain stores will have similar items)
Ball Joint Press Kit #67045
Pitman Arm Wrench #67027

Harbor Freight Needed:
Maddox Ball Joint Service kit Add-on (11 piece) #58758

Tip on separating the LBJ from the knuckle bracket. The video shows him hitting it a couple times, then you see a skip in the video, then a couple more whacks and it's loose. I used the O'Reilly Pitman Arm tool and a 3# hammer, attempting to swing 1 handed with a 3# sledge while holding the tool was not enough. Also make sure you are not going directly towards the truck as the fingers on the pitman tool will bottom out against the control arm. Shine a light in there and you'll see you need to rotate the tool ~15 degrees for clearance. Tap the tool in as tight as it will go while holding it then LET IT RIP. 2 handed full swing of a 3# hammer will knock it loose in 20 tries or less. Better yet, get a 5-8# hammer and let the tool do the work.

If you're comfortable doing this type of work, there's nothing to be afraid of. If you're not use to presses and swinging big hammers, find a good local shop you can trust.
