Ball joint removal

a puller worked for me if i remember right. i just had a cheap 2 arm puller i put the arms on the aluminum spindle and the middle of the puller on the bolt. if that doesn't work or he doesn't have one get a junk nut and a lot of WD 40 and beat it off. not many options.

So, I am the buddy Hockaday is talking about. I ended up getting it but is was a pain in the ***. Just in case anyone else has the same issue figured I would update so it might help you. I ended up getting a set of ball joint tools from Tool King for about $13 that ended up doing the trick. I had to beat the **** out of it but it finally poped out of the aluminum spindle. Spend the $13 up front and dont waste your time trying other pullers etc.
