Sti transvers install, can't get the ball joint off.
 

Got everything apart, but I just can't seem to get the ball joint off. The FSM says 'Extract ball joint' They make it sound so easy.

Any hints. I've tried beating the lower arm to death. I've seen it move a little, so I don't think its seized, but if some PB blaster or something would help I'm willing.

Thanks,
Jason

You need a ball joint seperator...

I'm trying to get the ball joint out of the knuckle. Would that still work? I have a smaller one of those, I think I'd need to pickup something with a little larger opening than what I have.

Can't just unbolt it and just pull it apart?

Did that. I think I've run into 'notheast salt fusion'
Time for some PBlaster :)

Added PB blaster + lots of beating with hammer. Then they popped off. :) Got the new arms on. Now my RF is in the right locaton again:)
