Re: Lower Ball Joint is a PITA
Probably a good idea. Turn them backwards so the flat side is against the drum.

Re: Lower Ball Joint is a PITA
I assume when you are trying to release the balljoint the floor jacks are NOT supporting the a-arm?
Support you truck frame and let the a-arms hang. Use the BFH to strike the spindle where the "x" is on both the front and back sides. Looks like you've been beating on the a-arm. that won't do any good. Keep at it,... you'll get it.

Re: Lower Ball Joint is a PITA
WHAT A BATTLE....I got it!
I went back to the pickle forks...undid the two bolts holding the stering arm on and smashed the fork right at the ball joint boot. One side got a small tear and the other came out un touched.... ![]() ![]()
