It is a real PITA, I just attempted to replace the ball joints last weekend and miserably failed. On top of that I stripped one of the two bolts attached to the driver side BJ.
I had watched that video and it is way oversimplified IMO because it did not show how much hammering was needed. Now I’m probably the worst DIYer out there too, but will try again sometimes this week.
Overboost did you successfully removed those BJs?
