on the spindle part, i've got the top ball joint off the upper arm but can get the lower ball joint to seperate..
the driver side axle i cant get it seperated off the hub...

i've hammered, lubed, pryed and everything i can think of but wont come off...

any suggestion greatly appreciated

 

hit it harder...........im serious (talking about the ball joint only)

 

heheeh...the ball joint is almost flat that i've hit it sooo hard and soo many times...

and driver side axle wont seperate from hub....

what about that??

 

hit the arm, not the joint

for the axle.....make sure you pull the hub away while you are hitting it out....use a punch if you have to

 

Tom has a great write up on this with pictures
Should help you out

yes he's serious beat the **** out of it when you think your hitting it hard as you can hit it harder

 

a little $6 harbor freight tool + love taps from a 2 lb hammer does wonders.

 

what lil Harbor Freight tool???

grind the point off.

Install puller over the ball joint WITH the ball joint nut loose 3 turns. Tighten the puller till it snugs up, then 1/2 to 1 turn more. Hit lower control arm with little hammer....pop.
