you mean as still stuck in the I-Beam...?


what I did was take a chisel and open the I-Beam split than take a screw driver and pound it in the Camber sleeve to open it and the ball joint popped right out...

if you are talking the top ball joint wont come out of the spindle that is a different story....mine was locked in pretty good but it wasnt stronger than my pipe and 8# mii-sledge an a vice....lol
