YelloRolla Forums Junkie Location: On your mum! Registered: May 2002	Re: how to remove steering arm from control arm? Mon, 13 December 2004 13:04 People most commonly try to hit the ball joint out by hitting on the loosened nut with the hammer (seems straight forward) and they drive themselves crazy doing so. The ball joint has a tapered shaft and it slots into a corresponding taper on the "knuckle arm" as it is so called in the drawing above! Rapping the side of the "knuckle arm" (at the point closest to where the tapered tie rod end ball joint is well at home) with a sizeable hammer (and don't fairy tap it), shocks the taper and often results in the two parts coming apart (it is necessary to hold a dolly at the opposing side of the knuckle end to where it will be struck). Failing that? the ball joint separator thing is an awesome tool. [Report message to a moderator]
