Spindle's balljoint replacement?
Am considering going back to scrap yard, but I know two tegs already had the passenger side knuckle missing..
Is there a proper way to remove the balljoint? I tried pressing it out after removing the retainer clip, but that thing is wedged in there good. Tried heating it up to 250 degrees, still wouldn't budge.

lol'z you need a BFH(big ****** hammer) and to get it in a press is a must most garages will charge you 10-20$ to press it out then in. cheaper then a BFH if you don't have one and the press 3 times over.

Iv always pressed em out, but that didn't work this time. I asked another dude at the shop for help since I couldn't figure it out, he couldn't get it either.
I guess tomorrow I will be taking a sledge hammer to it and practicing golf swing.
