Well, it took days and days to replace the brake servo master cylinder (many fittings never touched in life of car), all seems well; however just about time the one resevoirs brake fulid disappeared I noticed a clunk in the front L going over bumps, did the test and movement in lower ball joint. Probably original (67), had to make nut swiss cheese and hammer it off with chisel, took bottom fitting off, tried all the usual (no special tools) tricks that I have used in past to push out ball joints, such as tapping lower arm with hammer, arranging jack point to use cars own weight to push out while tapping madly, much liquid wrench, general tapping on top of bj, grabbing with vice grip to turn (silly me), nothing budges. Google search said this was typical. One way is to use an apparatus that is like a vice grip- C-Clamp, ball joint fork that allows you to turn something that inceases torque to pry the thing apart--at that when it worked guy said it sounded like a gun going off. Thought perhaps this greatest of all forums might have some advice--by the way, all else still attached. Oh, some comments mentioned a metal ring that goes in the bottom of the side walls on the bottom plate (with 4 bolts). The ball joint kit I have (bought many years ago) has no such ring, any help on that one. Thanks, Jay ('67 series I)
By the way, thanks to all those who helped with the brake fluid disappearing problem, by the way, I found taking off rear shock to do bleeding took just about 5 min per shock, and just as straightforward putting back on. Also person who added pic of modified wrench, yeah, I have almost a full set of such, tghey really come in handy, but used a brake bleed screw wrench that is like the round end of standard wrench but with a slot in it for the brake line to pass through and then you get one extra flat when you lower it around the bleed screw.
