Re: Thorbecke Brothers ball joint removal input HELP!

Do you have the little cup things from the bj tool? Or some DOM tubing that fit inside the balll joint cup? Find something that fits inside, and is taller than the length of the balljoint and press down on the arm. Just be careful that it doesnt start pushing at an angle, but it should take too much force to get those out

I've got the proper stuff to push it out with. It's just that i don't see anyway to keep it level. It's going to push at an angle. I'm going to give it another try tomorrow night when I have some time.
