I hate ball joints.

Heat them up, spray them with penetrating oil (PB, or others) until cool, heat up, spray again, heat up again, spray again, see where I'm going with this...

You work WAYYYYY to hard...

The lowers press in from the bottom.

Did you try putting the press on and tightening as tight as you can get it and hitting the knuckle with a hammer? It's always worked for me, so you may want to try hitting it with a bigger hammer. I use an 8lb splitting maul.

Yupp my bad. My memorys a little foggy. Been awhile...

That sounds like an all day job. 9 times out of 10 a big hammer will knock em loose

Takes about 10 minutes a joint if that, using a hammer gets exactly what you seen in the pics, a ****ed up inner "C"...

That is why a smart person uses a press and the method I said above...

I was referring to using a press AND a hammer....and hitting the outside of the knuckle. it will almost always shock them loose.

Well either way they are out once again the uppers gave me no problems going back in but both lowers are having trouble... Frozen joints and torched the axle. Gunna take my time and smooth off the toplips see if it'll go further than half way.. I hate doing this when I get off work lol it's taking forever
