   How's your day going? I'm outside having a ball (joint replacement).

     @kyle Nice job! Has to be a bit cool to drive the non-power tools you used back to where you got them in the car you fixed with them ;)
     (I finally got the The Best of Hack and / sysadmin book by the way :) I like it!)

     Done! It took longer than I expected, but I did it all without the benefit of power tools. In the pictures you can see the failed ball joint and the new one I replaced it with. I used the Jeep to drive back to the auto parts store to return the tools I rented to make sure everything is in order.
