Hey everybody.
I am trying to separate the drivers side front balljoint from its taper on my 89 Sentra, and it is a real pain in the ass. Do I really have to remove the halfshaft first, as the autozone repair manual says?
I have been whacking downwards on the control arm with a block of wood and a hammer, but it is not even budging the damn thing. I can't imagine a pickle fork is going to help either. Do they say to remove the halfshaft just for access to the top of the ball joint stud for hammering?
