Don't understand what you cut off, the threads on the old ball joint.
Did you manage to do this with the control arm on the car with the tool?
Did it on the car with the tool. I cut the threads off, because when you turned the bolt, the threads turned with it. Then I pressed it out. My only concern was when we put the new ball joint into the control arm, there is maybye 3 mm of space between the bottom of the control arm and the ball joint. I just want to make sure this is safe. The pin is in on top of the bolt. This ball joint had groves where the old one did not. It is press fit with a pin on top of the bolt.
