So i have developed a leak in the front passenger side of the diff, so I bought the seal to try and fix it.
To do this I needed to remove the steering knuckle, which meant removing upper and lower ball joint.
Lower came off easily, but the upper ball joint just wouldn't come off. I broke 2 ball joint removal tools trying to pop the ball joint off, try hammering it from every angle and just had no luck. After almost two days of trying to get it off i am giving up and going to call someone to come out and do it for me. What a waste of money, but i just have no option.
What was I doing wrong, how hard have other people found taking the upper ball joint off is?
