ive got the wheel and brakes off but now im trying to free the knuckle from all its joints. im pounding on the end of the upper ball joint and the end of the tie-rid end and they arent budging. any suggestions?

 

You need a bigger hammer and/or a longer stroke on the hit. Typically of all my friends who work on thier cars, I am usually the only one that can seperate the balljoints lol. I am 250 and 6'1".

any tricks?
