Hoping for some help. I have a 2011 JK Rubicon with 116k miles.

When I first got her I did a full suspension overhaul that included Dynatrac’s HD rebuildable ball joints. Given the miles I figured it was time for a rebuild so I ordered the kit. The problem is the lower ball joint looks nothing like the one shown on their rebuild video. Specifically, the video shows a flat, smooth top with two small allen screws. My lower ball joints not only have a notched top but no allen screws. I have no idea how to get the ball socket out of the housing (the stud came out with the knuckle, which may also be a problem) or if the top someone unscrews like the upper joint does.

I’m including a pic of the lower ball joint for reference. Really hoping someone can help me out.

Thanks so much!

I don't have them, but I wonder if the video is a new style. Look at this vid, it looks like what you have in your pic

Thanks, Jerry. I actually watched that video. Can’t for the life of me figure out what he’s using to, what it appears, “screw” the top off. The exposure is too dark.
