Ball Joint Removal
Which way do i press them out? i tried flipping the a-arm over (grease zerk was pointing upwards) and pressing it out and no luck.
Do i press it out with the zerk on the bottom?

Re: Ball Joint Removal
they are pressed out from the top. so the zerk would be on the bottom when removing, so you would have the arms int he press the same orientation they would be if they were still installed in teh car and press down on the joint around the stud
they are usually really tight, especially if they have never been removed before. Hope you have a good press
