Re: Spindles STUCK!

I have been able to get my ball joints loose all three times by whacking them with a hammer. Sometimes it was easy, sometimes it was not. Unless you want to replace your balljoints, it is the best way to do it. Otherwise you will have to use a pickle fork, and you'll probably mess some stuff up and have to replace the parts.

Swervin used a home made tool to press his balljoints out of the spindle. I think there are details on his front end rebuild article on 73-87.com.
