Please help.
I attempted to change a ball joint on the weekend an was not successful. I compressed the coil spring, took the bolt out holding the ball joint to the hub and the ball joint came out. I tried to remove the 2 bolts holding the control arm so that I could press the ball joint out. I managed to get one of the bolt out but the other bolt would not come out of the bushing. I socked it with penetrating fluid and tried hammering it out but it would not move. I didn't want to apply heat because of rubber bushing.
Am I doing this correctly? Any helpful hints will be appreciated.
Also, the bottom of the coil spring (last 3 inches of the material) is broken. Does this need to be replaced?
