> Help! > I cannot get the lower ball joint to budge. have you tried a ball joint seperator, also know as the pickle fork? maybe a few blows with a hammer will pop it out, but don't hit the ball joint with the hammer, hit the steering knuckle it is in, or i think it is the knuckle anyway...i had an episode where i could not get the tie rod ends out of the knuckle, and about ten HARD blows to the knuckle and they poped right out....i have never removed the lower ball joint, but plan on replacing them in the future, and if i could not get them out, i might try the hammer, but i might also wait for the "sage like advice", as this is not it..... ===== Scott Wilson 85 GL Westfalia __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
