i have tried everything i can think of to get the upper balljoints out and they wont budge the lowers came right out with some force and a hammer. any body have any tips to help me out?
nope def pressing the right way and i have tried heat and a sledge and pipe. i think im gonna take it to a shop with a hydrolic press and have them get the last two out so i can put my truck back together tomorrow.
Which way are you pressing? You should be have a big cup over the top/stem of the joint so it is just touching the nuckle. When i did mine i had a 3ft bar to get them started.
Wait nevermind i thought you were useing a ball joint press...
