Dude your technique of wacking the ball joint out with a hammer kinda scares me. You didn't rip or bend anything that way?
its a rubber hammer, so no harm.
it sounds weird, but once you get in there you will see what im talking bout.

Whacking the ball joints / tie rod ends / toe links with a hammer (even rubber) is not a great idea. Especially since you can buy the proper tool for so cheap. Just get the right tool and be done with it.
