Re: del sol lower ball joint removal
Beat the hell out of it until it comes out.. Then have the new one pressed in.
You can also place a socket over the ball joint and beat it in...... but you could run the chance of F-ing it up. If you have a harbor freight in your city you can buy a nice 6 ton shop press for $75.. $75 is about what your local machine shop will charge to press in new lower ball joints.
Good luck!!
