Re: Popping lower ball joint loose

on a disc brake equipped truck I have had to remove the rotor so I could whack it in line with the spindle, if that makes sense. Like you I could not get it to pop loose when hitting it from the side. Drum brake trucks just take longer to get everything out of the way.

I suppose you could also have someone hold a big drift pin or something solid 1' diameter round stock or similar and a foot or so long on the side of the spindle and whack it with a sledge hammer.
