Re: Lower Balljoint help!

Yeah, I had that just happen when I was replacing the lower ones on my panel. Luckily I have a my own press so after the "ball" part came out, I just placed a short piece of tubing that would fit around the left over part (the bottom of the arm) and a flat plate on the top of it (top of arm) and pressed out the rest of it. It was easy to do. You could try something similar with a vice but you're likely going to need a cheater bar to get enough leverage. A press would be easier.

We were given two ears and one mouth for a reason... listen twice as much and speak half as often...
