Help with upper control arm
« on: June 17, 2004 - 10:35:13 PM »
I am in the process of rebuilding the front end of my chally and the drivers side upper control arm ball joint will not come out. I have tried with the impact wrench and it won't budge. I really don't want to heat it up alittle but I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions?

Lots of penetrating oil & some heat can make a big difference, heat the ball joint

Got it off. I also got a BF bar with a breaker bar. Thanks Chryco Psycho!
