Removing front Hydros.

[Triple_B]

I need some help removing the front hydros:
I am removing them by taking them out of the a-arm and tie rod joints. I took the cotter pins out of the tie rod joint nut and the lower a-arm joint nut, i unscrewed the nuts off and got the upper a-arm joint out of the front hydro. But i just cant for the life of me get the lower a-arm and tie rod joints out of the hydro. any help?

What are you using to remove them? Pickle fork? What I did was to install the upper a arm bit not tighten the nut down all the way and stuck a jack between the upper and lower a arm. I cranked on it till it had good pressor , then gave the lower collor a good wack with a hammer. Piped rite out.

yout gotta hit the f'rs hard, pickle forks are for the prepared. i think i used vice grips adjusted loosely and hit em, just dont hit on the baljoint itself or you will wreck the threads

Hitting spindle/steering knuckle (on the side) right next to ball joint and it will pop out. Do not beat on ball joint or you will be sorry.
