I am at the point to remove this old balljoint and wondering if you guys any suggestions or have a better way to remove beside cutting the thread and hammer it from the bottom ? I have loan the ballpoint press from Autozone but that's when you press the new balljoint in ...not taking it out . Correct ?

 

Just hammer it out. That's what I did. It ain't pretty but it's efficient as **** LOL.

 

Just found this video where you can use the ballpoint press to Press the old balljoint out .... pretty neat .

 

but, a new, fully assembled knuckle is like 100 bucks.

 

Take the snap ring off, hammer out the ball joint from the bottom (hit the stud, it'll come out) tap in new ball joint (use a socket the size of the BJ, or a piece of wood, or a dead blow hammer...)
