How the hell do you seperate the the top ball joint from the hub assembly. Been going at it for a while now and cant get them to split. ps just took the gem for a wof(hasnt had one in 2 years!) the only thing I gota do is tighten a few botls and replace the balll joint. one more gem nearly on the road  |

I have never had any problems I just lossen the nut off like 1mm then smack the stub axle where the ball joint goes through might take a few hits but it has always worked for me. A ball joint splitter would be less rough I guess better option really may get myself one.

Nah sometimes they just don't come loose aye. 90% of the time they will tho, try turning it to different angles and raise and lowering the car a little, as when it gets to the right angle it will just fall out pretty much. Or just save heaps of effort and buy a balljoint splitter |

ps cars that look like that and have a wof are the nuts. I think you should just clear it and lower it. Would rule. Maybe bare metal afew patches first to get that true rust 'effect'.. I mean 'rat' look ;D
