I've been struggling with removing both upper and lower ball joints. I broke a ball joint seperater last night and am about ready to try some heat on the spindle tonight. Any other words of advice?

Also, the upper ball joint has four rivets that appear to attach it to the upper control arm. Do these have to be ground off to get the ball joint off?
