Lower Ball joint with frozen mounting bolt
Posted by John Dammeyer [Email] (more from John Dammeyer) on Sat, 26 Aug 2006 23:11:27

I was trying to remove the lower RH lower ball joint today on a 1988 SAAB when I managed to twist off the head of the inside mounting bolt. No amount of pounding with a punch or on the otehr side will even budge it. With the way that the lower control arms wrap around the joint is there any way to remove it?
I'll try heating it with a torch tomorrow but how hot? I'm guessing that I'll have to remove the lower control arm c/w ball joint. I have a 3Ton arbour press that I'll try but I'm wondering if all this is worth it or whether a new ball joint and control arm is the easier and btter solution.
Thanks
John
