I just pressed what I call “The Ball Joint From Hell”. It took 4 days of hammering the knuckle, a pickle fork, setting the ball joint on fire from too much heat, and finally a running start with a 12lb sledge to get it separated from the knuckle. When the steering knuckle let loose, it shot off the car and hit the frame with force. All this effort to just press out the ball joint and have part of the control arm go with it…. RIP. Here we are.
Just adding a comment to get the algorithm going...cheers from Texas!
Thanks for that!

Yep those ball joints are a bugger I went through the same thing.
