Ball-Joint NooB Question.....

Already got the old struts reomoved and the steering knuckle assembly removed. Any tips BEFORE I start beating on the old ball joint? I'm really concerned about egging/warping my control arm! Any hints would be appreciated......

Re: Ball-Joint NooB Question.....

your changing the ball joint? it needs to be pressed out. you can get a tool cheap, or rent one at most parts stores
