pickle fork and a bfh is good way..thats how i got mine released this weekend when i changed my balljoints

cool thank you, i think im just needing to get the fork from autozone.....i might as well get the ball joints too since they will pretty much be destroyed when im done

lots of penetrating oil and bfh. hit the side of the knuckle will usually pop out the ball joint

thanks guys! i ended up buying new moogs and decided to pound the old ball joints out from the top and leave the ball joints in the spindles since im changing the spindle assembly to 4x4 knuckles anyway, theres no need to salvage them lol
