much easier is a ball joint removal too which allows this process to be much easier. Its like a cold chisel but has a fork which is placed on either side of the ball joint. When struck with a hammer it prys the joint and you can remove it. They seize up after many years of mud and water ...

Apply some seperative pressure with a lever, and hit either side of the poket with hammers similtaneously.

you'll need to bash it good with a mini-sledge or something similar. if you can remove the control arm this makes it easier - but also means more pi55-farting around

and when i say bash it, i meanBASH it. you'll think you're about to bend your control arm with the next blow and it'll just drop out. try and prop the control arm on some lumps of wood to absorb the shock and stop and damage to the control arm bush.

i cant get my 120y ball joints off the arm, i have a workshop manual it simply says "remove" but i cant "remove" it.
