HOW IN THE %#$% to get the ball joint out of the hub assembly??

[TL_2ENV]

Well im pretty damn upset right now, i had +2 on my bike, trying to sell them. I got the damn thing all apart all the bolts off etc and could not for the life of me get the stupid *** ball joint to pop out of the hub assembly.. and theres 4 of them! I rented a tie rod end puller wasnt enough clearence to use it, used a ball joint fork thing, and it will not pop out. Im not trying to beat it to hell or rip the boots so i dont know what to do?!?!

The youtube video in your other thread is the same concept.

Hit very hard with a hammer on the front edge of the hub, with the front tires turned so gives you better access. BE careful NOT to hit the caliper - couple good whacks and pops right out. We have to do it all the time at the races doing suspension setup.
