Piece of upper balljoint stuck in spindle

To replace the spindle will be about 300-500$ and it all depends on if i can find one. It has to be either procomp or fabtech, the other off brands suck a** when it comes to snapping. If i had the cash id just buy the camburg spindles and arms from a guy for 800$, but i dont have that right now. Ill be tackling this tommorow, ill post some pics of the carnage lol.

Thanks colin, i saw those too. If it comes to all that im just gonna put the stockers back on and put it up for sale. Ive had the major itch to get back into road racing, and maybe even some rally racing. Ive had my eye on a wrx sti for some time now. Maybe now is the time....

Well i got it out with no major carnage to report. I opened up the slit with a 3lb hamer and chisel. Then i got a really thin cutoff wheel in the slit and ground down the ball joint. Then it just slid out pretty easy with a chisel.

Thanks guys. The last few days have been spent working on the explorer. The whole front end will be all new parts now though. Id say the biggest pain was the rack and pinion, that was a pita...
