Yes, exactly, that is the issue here. If we go through the trouble of removing the whole knuckle, then we have access and can drive the ball joint out from the top with your tool of choice (BFH and drift, air chisel, rental ball joint press, etc.). But, for now, I am trying to remove the ball joint without removing the entire knuckle. As a matter of fact, I am off to do battle right now . . . I'll let you know how it goes.
By the way, the slide hammer (special tool) looks very interesting, I wonder how well it works. Thanks.
