Icon5 Didnt work

so my friend bought a lift for like $300.00 and we tryed to install it. but when i tryed to take the spindel off on the right side, the top ball joint was no problem, the bottom wolld not come off at all, i even used my air hammer to get it off but nothing. the only thing i could think of was to nock off the lower ball joint and just replace it with a new one for the lift but i dont know. ANY IDEAS????????????

Where are you hitting? You need to hit the spindle, not the balljoint. Try using a steel hammer, not a dead blow if that isnt working. You can also go buy a pickle fork and that should get it off pretty easy.

get the pickle fork and beat it hard. autozone has them as part of their "free loan a tool service".

pay the deposit, use the tool, return it and get your money back
