Subject: Removing the top ball joint.

Okay .. what's the secret here....

I've got one of those wedge things but it don't seem
to make much difference. Should the joint be fixed to
the top sub-frame as it hit it or not.

I tried one of those screw type gadgets that operate
by forcing the joint apart as you screw it in. - Too
small, could not get it attached.

A loaned a big mother of a gadget from AUtozone - too
big. This one is like a big G-clamp. you use two
hollow tubes and then screw a piece in .. too
difficult to explain!

Upshot is I'm making no progress .. any help ? or is
it  a job for the 'professionals'!
