And here I thought "Goodwood" was the title from some cheap porn movie....

That said, I'm struggling with thrust arm removal from the ball joint on my driver side. Not on a lift, so my leverage/access isn't the best, and I've already broken my first cheap harbor freight 3/4" ball joint tool attempting its use to leverage the thrust arm off the ball joint [nut removed easily]. Hammer, from different angles, hasn't yet done the trick. Any tips? PB Blaster and lack of rust in toasty warm Georgia has made this time-consuming job manageable, but advice needed on knocking this one sumbich loose, then get to the female hex/star bolts holding in the ball joint itself ...
