Thanks for the input guys. I took a floor jack and put it under the LCA. I then took a metal cone and hit it with a 3lb. mini sledge into the spindle hole. After that the ball joint went right in.
Yes, the pinch bolt is out. I'm reassembling so I'm trying to get the upper ball joint into the spindle, so I can then put the pinch bolt in. The ball joint just won't go into the spindle hole. Any other suggestions?
I am having trouble getting the upper control arm ball joint into the spindle where the pinch bolt is. I tried to mini sledge it in, but it will not go all the way in. Does anyone have advice for this?
Thanks
