Originally posted by RandyCSVT: the ball joint is held on by a nut and a torx head bolt. I can get the nut off. But the torx head bolt wont come out. Elky even tried to remove it with airtools and it wouldnt budge. If I ever need to remove the ball joint (i.e. replace LCA's) I am just gonna take it to a shop and play dumb about the stuck bolt. It can become their headache!
Spray PB on the torx bolt then get an airhammer with a point bit and shoot it out - it works EVERY time! That's what I use. An airhammer is under $30 from Pep Boys.
