has anyone else had these problems and if so how did they fix it?

 

are you trying to seperate it at the ball joint? if so, hit it with a hammer at the LCA to free up the joint. what typeof tool are you using to seperate it.

 

ya as said above hit the lower control arm but as you are doing this also pry down on it with something else. Should pop right out.

Or if you are changing the ball joint just use a balljoint fork to hammer it out.

actually, what i do is, i just hit it 2 - 3 times then use my ball joint seperator (not the forks) and i seem to get buy. it's cake.

 

ive been beating on the LCA and it wont budge. i also jacked up the spindle and beat on it and it still wont budge with the spring tension on it.

 

jack the car up high enough where you can get a good swinging distance, then get a 5lb hammer and swing upwards at a 45 degree angle right on the lca. Ive never met a car that wouldnt come loose with this method, not even my rustbucket.

 

take a good hammer, and hit here on the LCA
and on the other side, and it should come loose
