knuckle removing trouble

[mikeb3119]

hey im having trouble removing my knuckle for my front spindle. anyone know the best way i can get it off?

 

[Blaner]

spray it with something then put a old nut on with the same thread and use a block of wood and hit with a hammer. best advice is using a balljoint puller, saves the thread of the ball joint

 

[mikeb3119]

ok ill try that and let you know

i tried man and its not working. any other suggestions?

If you can get it to a solid place. May need to unscrew it from the tie rod end.

Bear with me. I only had 2 hands to take this pic and the knuckle had no ball joint in it.

Loosen the nut and bang it on the side hard like the picture and it will pop like a zit.
