the project is changining the pass side axle and i can not for the life me get the bottom ball joint out, the instructions i got say to use a hang puller but i don’t have one. does anyone have this puller or have any usefull advice to asist me in getting this problem solved?

what i’ve tried: *lifting the vehicle by the balljoint stud and whacking the knuckle with a sizeable metal object.
*getting the 2/3 jaw puller from the zone and that is too big to work and keeps slipping off.
*we tried yelling at it and grunting at it but we are getting pwned.

we got the old axle out because it fell apart in my hands when i pulled the upper balljoint off so now i’m left with 2 ways to go about this, A: i can take apart the outer section of the axle but i can’t get it apart for some reason? any comments. or B get this balljoint apart without damaging anything.

and yes the fork bolt on the strut is siezed in there

these are just 2 of many tools to get the job done. You can go to pepboys and rent(deposit) the suspension kit and it will have these 2 tools plus more to pop the lower ball joint. Its just a deposit and you get all your money back when you bring them back.

OR u can remove your upper balljoint and your outter tierod to install your new axle.

Obviously the easier meathod will be the lower ball joint since its a breeze when you have the right tools.
