Help a brother out. This is the last piece before I can start putting everything back together again with a new LCA. I have used the tool, I have hit the stud with a hammer, I have sprayed WD40 version of PBBlaster, the ball joint separator is on there tight right now and I'm letting it sit, if I turn it too much eventually it comes flying off, Monday night I hit myself in the face with the end of a breaker bar when the tool popped loose.
Ideas I may try tonight (please let me know if these are terrible ideas)
- Dry ice and try to apply it to the stud or the ball joint from underneath
- A butane torch to try and heat the part of the wheel carrier that is around the ball joint.
- Maybe a plumbers wrench, and grip the stud really tightly and try and turn it?
I really really need to get this out and get the car back together so I can take it to get corner balanced and aligned and get ready for a track weekend next weekend.
