ya, and just to my luck, the fucking thing would NOT come off. So now it's sitting in my buddies garage on jack stands. The lower control arm (as seen here) http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetod ... U0MQ%3D%3D

would NOT come off. so fuck me running. PS: ryan told me to use a u-tipped wedge to jam in there and try and break it loose, pretty sure that fucked the ball bearing since he called back later and was like "no don't do that I was wrong" THANKS BUD!

Yeah. We annihilated my balljoint with a fork. Blew the boot apart.

big crowbar pryed into the control arm and a big fucking hammer on it does the trick.

perhaps take a pic of it to show me what you mean if you have a car to demonstrate on munster? we tried every available angle/prying we could and couldn't fucking budge the biatch. It's still sitting on jack stands in my buddies garage right now. Last effort will be to just heat the shit out of it and knock it off then... but I'm sure that's not the greatest on the lca. I'm probably going to have to replace the balljoint anyways as it was spewing grease everywhere, hopefully that wont' be too tough.
