I have a 98 ford escort and I am replacing the ball joint on it and I am having a lot of trouble with one side. I have removed all of the bolts that connect the ball joint to the control arm. So as of now the old ball joint is just hanging with the joint stuck in the knuckle. I got a pickle fork and a really big hammer and beat on it for about 30 min’s and still its stuck in there. I then hosed it down with PB blaster and let it soak for a few and then tried aging and still nothing. I was wondering if any one had ideas how to get this out? The only thing I have thought of is to use my propane tourch on it and heat up the knuckle and hope it falls out.
Any ideas would be awesome!
