Ball joints on 1995 F-150 4x4

Use a two pound hammer, and hit the axle on the end immediately beside of the stud, hitting it sideways. Hit it hard a time or two.

Leave the nut on the bottom ball joint loose so the spindle won't drop on your foot.

Well, did you get them out?

I've had 'em that tight before, it's not a lot of fun. Glad you got it out.

had one on a 99 Taurus once that I'd put the press onto, wouldn't budge, cranked it down as far as I dared, put a bit of heat on it, still no go, hit the center bolt on the puller with a big-assed hammer and thought I'd been shot.......looked up and both dogs were 'asses and tails'-ing it out the door

watchdogs my ass,,,,,,,,,,,,, ============ ============ Gary, after fubaring the first Taurus controll arm using a pickle fork.....I improved the SnapOn dudes chances of retireing early and purchased a puller to bust those Taurus/Sable type studs loose with.

At first, I justified the cost using frustration as a gage.

Now, I figure it's paid for itself in busted knuckles alone. Just looking at that 5lb knuckle buster and picklefork sends chills down my back.

...now that was funny.

I've got a 119lb German Shepard that's huge, and ferocious looking. He'll challenge anyone that comes in the yard, but you let a thunderstorm come up, and he's in my wife's LAP.
