Replacing my ball joints soon. Seems like it would be easier to just leave the hub connected to the axle shaft and pull them out of the tube connected, maybe i'm missing something?
Knurling vs. Smooth?.. It seems you're saying if knurled joints come out... Smooth joints WON'T go in, but if smooth come out, they'll accept either?.. Or is it only Remove/Replace with like kinds? Also it seems Spicer/Dana is out of the TJ ball joint business; later Jeeps, still.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these videos. They’ve helped me a ton with my LJ. Thank you!
Thanks. Wish I had time to shoot more. Lots of changes and some more plans coming.
Thanks, I look forward to more TJ/LJ videos.

You certainly can
Is it okay to put grease on the pressed joint to help it slide in easier?
Never tried that
Yes it’s fine to use or anti seize
Is the knurling on the ball joint from cheap aftermarket joints or were they on factory joints?
I wouldn't say cheaper. Just aftermarket, give you the ability to have a tighter fit while replacing.

What you said is correct.
