I'm trying to pop the ball joints out of my Astro lower A-arms (think B-body parts) and I'm having some issues. I bought a Harbor Freight ball joint removal tool and turned it into a pretzel trying to get the lower stud to pop out of the arm. Should I just jack the rotor up and slap the ball joint with a hammer a bit? Blue wrench? high explosives? Some zen master trick I'm unaware of?
