I'm changing my lower ball joints, and the right one is not moving at all. I tried everything I could think of, I used a ball joint seperater but it went all the way through and the ball joint did not move, I bang the side or it with a hammer, I tried a pitmen arm puller ( I seen someone use it on upper ball joints thought it would help but it kept slipping off. I have no idea what to do I never had this much trouble on a ball joint before, any suggestions??

Zack,

I've updated your title to make it a more descriptive than "need help bad". You'll find you get a better response if you do the same in the future... many experienced members skip threads because of titles like yours and they might have something to contribute if you tell them what the post is about. Thanks.

I heard of some people pulling out there control arm and getting the ball joint pressed out at a machine shop, I don't want to resort to this but would that work?? I need to do something soon, this my only running car so I'm stuck to my bike and begging for rides. lol

Well some are more difficult than others but the trick is to use a pretty heavy hammer (i dont remember the # off hand, please not a carpenters hammer) and you want to strike the arm itself not the joint with a good hammer a couple of hits should do it let me know how it turns out

I've been using a pretty heavy hammer and had no hope I've been working on it for a while leaving dents in the arm, until I gave up and took the arm off, Ima take it to a machine shop not to far away and see if he could press the ball joint out.But thanks for the help.
