Did you replace with new Krawler joints or did you upgrade to their Monster Pros?

only major problem i had was getting the old joints out of the control arms. but with a large monkey wrench and a large open end wrench on the jam nut i was able to break them free and get them out.

Yes they are very tight. I had to use a large crescent wrench and about a 15lb sledge plus my neighbors help. We placed the arms in a vise and almost broke the table it was attached to by the time we broke all 8 arms loose.
