I tried just about everything Austin's auto part stores have to offer in Ball joint separation...Which is not much. I don't have a heat torch, so that is not an option for me. this is my third weekend trying to get this BITCH off, with no use. Next thing I'm going to try is to put a jack under the stud and beat the knuckle with a hammer. If that does not work, I am going to cut off the M**F** and drill it out. What a sucky design!!

Thanks for your tips
