put the nut back on the balljoint but not all the way, support the knuckle. Using a 2 pound hammer, whack the side of the knuckle where the ball joint is, or hit the nut to hammer it out

yeah use a big ball pein put the nut on 2-3 threads and giver hell...eventually something will pop lol

I had to beat the bajesus out of mine with a pickle fork and a hammer to get mine to separate... It takes some pounding, but it'll release eventually. Be a lot easier if you've got something larger than just a regular hammer...
Was just there last weekend on mine Attachment 31032 Attachment 31033 |
Never used a pickle fork myself

Are those bolts in the picture of the upper BJ upside down?
|
all the ones I've ever seen, the uppers are nuts up, the lowers are nuts down
end the end, I don't really thing it makes a difference :P |
