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 1989 honda prelude ---

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. ---
