I am stuck with the same problem. The axle is in the way, I can't remove that damn ball joint. Ive tried pb blaster, the ball joint fork tool w/sledge, and even heating up the thing with a propane tank. I guess I will have to remove the knuckle. Any diy on how to do this?? Any help would be great thanks! btw this is the ball joint I am unable to remove
