What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[iddqd]

A project for this past weekend was to refurbish my passenger seat. I bought a new bottom leather cover ($80 + taxes off eBay). I also bought a GM seat repair kit to eliminate seat rocking back & forth: https://www.ebay.com/itm/291102602491. Tied up and wrapped all wires under the seat. Washed a seat belt. I saw some car flippers do it with a bucket with the seats inside the car, but I already had the seat out, so had a chance to wash it properly. Ground out a sleeve that limits the seat recline. Lubricated all worm gears. Cleaned all plastic parts, cleaned and treated the leather.

PS. Note the difference in color between DR & PASS seat belts!!!! This is not a shade, this is how dirty they both were!

So how hard is it to press out the upper ball joint with a ball joint press?

Out of the knuckle or out of the control arm?

Whin a proper tool it shouldn't take longer than 1 hour per side, but without the tool this can be challenging. Check if ur local part store has a ball joint press tool available for rent. It'd save u a lot of headache and curse words

Man I need to clean my seat belts again, and do a better job this time. It’s just such a PIA.
