Use b.j. removal tool, apply as much pressure as you can & whack the " eye " ( where the b.j. slips into )a few times with a hammer.
It will then pop free.
If it takes you more than 1/2 hour per side, find another occupation.  |
Before you said to remove the tie rod end. Is that what you meant?
One question is did you remove the tire and if so where did you put the jack?
It seems the spring is held by the control arm which is held by the ball joint...
