Been stripping my warrior down this week for a cosmetic makeover and i've hit a snag, the ball joints are stuck in the spindles and they won't come out. Sprayed pb blaster on them and put the porta jack jaws in between them and they still won't budge. beat the piss out of the a arms trying to break them loose and still nothing lol. Im stumped guys help me out
 
i used a bearing puller on mine and pushed the ball joint through.
 
Ive used a picklefork before but you have to be real careful not to rip the boots, The spindle trick works also, so does the bearing puller either way is fairly easy.
 
Just put the nut back on a few threads take a hammer or rubber hammer and tap on the nut till it pops free
