i have 94 cx and the lower ball joint is stuck. I had it off a couple months ago no problem. Now i need to get it off and the damn thing is stuck. I destroyed a pickle fork, bent it all to hell. Usually what i do is wedge a breaker bar in there and just stomp on it and it usually breaks free. Well not this time. is there anything else i can do to get this off. please help asap

 

Have you ever used the sledge hammer technique? That always works with me. Just make sure you put the nut on the ball joint to protect the threads.

This usually works for me...

Put some 'pull apart' pressure on the joint. Take two large hammers, hold one against the area where the stud goes through and whack the oposite side with the other hammer. (The hammers should be in a horizontal line perpendicular to the ball joint stud.) This temporarily deforms the round hole and pops the ball joint stud free.
