i've searched the old threads and it seems most people just hammer it out but it doesn't really wanna budge. for some reason the rears came out after a lot of shaking and hammering/anger. any ideas thanks a lot.

don't hit the bolt coming out of it, hit the part of the spindle that goes on the bolt. give it a good whack on the side of it, that should loosten it.

thanks for the quick reply. i'll try it now lol.

i have my front left and right fully dismantled other than the balljoint and the tie rod thing. trying to convert to 5 lug is a lot of hard labor.

i gave up and went to a local autozone to get a pickle fork. got the tie rod off not too difficult.

i hammered the crap out of the ball joint and got the spindle off on one side of the car.

problem now is how to get the ball joint off the lca. getting the spindle off the ball joint i spretty hard. any recommendations?

I got my ball joint off my LCA by having some one stand on the LCA and then I hit the ball joint with a Sluge hammer. After about 3 wacks it pop out. Just remeber to remove the c clip.

wow i had a jack stand under the lca while i tried to sledge the ball joint off. it wouldn't come off.

i gave up and took the lca off and was hoping to get it pressed out but tomorrow is sunday. everywhere is closed.
