I am planning on starting the project tomorrow, and I was wondering if an air hammer will do the trick to drive the old ball joint out of the spindle? Has any body tried and has success with this approach?

I held a large socket against the bottom of the ball joint and gave it 3 hits with a mall hammer and it popped out.

Thanks for all the inputs, Gentlemen!!!
One quick question: What are the torque values of the ball joint lock nuts for: (1)upper control arm ball joint, and (2)lower control arm ball joint and the lock nuts for the (3)bracket that holds and attaches the rubber bushing of the sway/stabilizer bar to the firewall. the bolts for the (4)bracket that attaches the tie rod to the spindle and the bolt that attaches the (5)uppercontrol arm to the wheel well. Thanks again.
