the speedo didnt work. Thought of it afterwards, should have just swapped the internals, but I destroyed it getting the gears to roll the other one.

yeah I got the 36mm socket. Just went and bought a 18' breaker bar, and a long metal pipe and got them off no problem lol. Now just have to seperate the lower ball joint and swing the assembly out of the way.

Ball joints FTL. I broke my grandpas vise pushing one of those in... and parts stores rent out these skimpy little presses... i wonder if they actually work...
