Hey guys i need some help. My dad is tellin me the only way to get ball joints out(without a separator) is to just beat and beat and beat on them. It took us four and a half hours yesterday to change one. And when we put the new one in. Guess what we beat around the piece that it goes in and it took an hour and a half of that time to put it in. (NOTE: the four and a half hours was with breaks haha but only like 10 minutes.) There has to be an easier way. Help??? I really dont want to go threw the same crap with the other side.
