ball joints...solved

[Dave Hord]

Now it seems simple enough...

Undo the bolt and nut in the back of the hub...remove the bolt fully.  

Kick, swear and bleed as you figure out how to hammer the darn ball joint out 
of the hub.

Since I'm replacing both control arms I just wailed away at the control arms 
with all me might (175 pounds, 6'4"..not a whole lot of might) and eventually 
the right side ball joint popped out.

Right side ball joint boot was all cracked...very small leak. Just looked at 
the left side...VERY split.  13 years...I suppose that's not bad, eh?

Now...to go get the right side out.
