If you're gonna get a ball joint seperator get a proper one ie

- Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:04 am #104718 I'll give it a try tommorow again I won't use a hammer because I ddon't want to mess up the threads.

- Tue Mar 24, 2009 2:18 am #105330 I finally finished taking off the hub putting my studs in and the hub is back on I get to drive it now.

- Tue Mar 24, 2009 11:48 am #105376 When you see what a ball joint seperator does once it's popped the joint the hammer doesn't seem quite so violent anymore lol

Thats true but I ran into another problem AGAIN.Now when I try to tighten the ball joints everything starts to spin. Please don't tell me I have to replace them

- Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:23 am #105538 I know that this happened to one of you guys

- Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:27 am #105542 While tightening the bolt, you also have to aply pressure to keep the ball joint apart from the control arm.
