i can't get the Lower Control Arm loose from the lower ball joint.

Any good tips? I've been swinging a hammer on that thing so much I can't hardly swing anymore.

I might just have to catch a ride to work tomorrow and pick up a BJ removal tool. The one w/ the 2 hooks and the big threaded bolt through the center.

I've tried jacking from the LCA, the Balljoint stud itself, the hub. I've hammered on everything I could find to hammer on down there too.

I have a balljoint splitter / pickle fork tool and that just isn't doing the trick. I think it's not quite big enough, by a small margin.

Any tips appreciated <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
