Flaminsam Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I crack them with a hammer. Hit them in the correct place and the shock will dislodge even the most stubborn ball joints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rinseep82 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Should b a quick job dude the top but may b a bastard if the ball joints are really worn when u try and loosen the top nut from where the ball joint goes through the hub it may just spin so u can either clamp the ball joint with some mole grips and a bit of heat on the nut or just do what I do and bang out the grinder and go to town on it haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ball joint splitter I have 2 as im greedy lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtaylor1990 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Piece of piss dude, I cant remember but the ball joint may have a split pin to get out too, make sure u remove that carefully because u may not get a new one with the new kit, but I could be wrong about them havin split pins.A fuck off mallet should do the job though as previously stated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rinseep82 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Some have split pins some don't just depends Quote Link to post Share on other sites
