Anybody know a fast way to get the stock A-arm balljoint off the spindle, I keep beating it but just doesnt work. My pickel fork is to big. I have the top arm off so i been using a punch and sticking it through the top hole and hitting it that way but the damn thing dont budge. HELP!!!

when i removed mine i left the bottom arm on the frame and had my friend hold the spindle/hub while i hit the arm with a rubber mallet.. after a few hard hits it popped out

I have a bolt with a nut and collar that fits inbetween the ball joints i loosen the top ball joint nut shove the bolt inbetween the two and crank on the nut until it pops then i repeat on the bottom no chance of screwing anything up that way.

give the inside of the spindle a good hit and use a block of wood so you dont put dents in the aluminum(sp) :devil: should pop right out.
