What is required to stak a lower ball joint?

Aug 05, 2003 0 Replies

I have a 2002 Z71 Tahoe that need a lower ball joint and of course I can't get one from Autozone or Pepboy so I had to get a new one from GM. When you open the box it has a big notice that says this ball joint requires staking to install.



Does GM have special tool for this or do you just take a punch and bend the lip over in a few places once the new ball joint is pressed in?
