I had to borrow a pickle fork and about an hour to get the ball joint to separate. My only problem is the Piston in the caliper wont move.

I do put penetrating oil down the tapered fitting once the nut is loose. Seems to help consistently.

for separating stubborn lbj from the knuckle I loop a chain around the c/a near the bj. Then slide a long pry bar through the chain and wedge the tip under the subframe. I have someone push down on the prybar while I give the side of the knuckle taper a rap with the air hammer.

Holy **** thats more work than you need. Just get a BFH hit the lower part of the knuckle 1 or 2 times and the balljoint will drop then use a pry bar on the C/A to get the balljoint out of the knuckle

I had to jam a screw driver in the hockey puck bushing because it just kept spinning and spinning.
Ha you sucker sawing endlinks off. I turned mine a 1/8th turn and it broke into about 6 pieces.

If the hockey puck bushing gets stuck to the bolt, get past the rubber part however you need to and find the split in the metal sleeve and use a chisel, air hammer or even a screw driver and hammer. Just got to open it ever so slightly and the bolt will come out.

is it just the washer between the bolt head and the LCA? on the Old LCA there was a bushing of some sort.

Thanks, Its funny not having the right tools (picklefork, and c clamp) turned a 3 hour job into a 2 day job because i kept running around for tools.

BFH is all you need, and a saw to cut them end links off if they dont snap before they strip out.
