    Default Help Please!

    I have a 1993 Honda civic hatchback
    I am trying to do an engine swap but my ball joint wont come out and its really messed up (car isnt drivable AT ALL)

    I tried different tools and it just wont come out
    i was hoping someone with experience might come help me at my garage, i would of course pay you, i just really need it out

    preferably today or this weekend or ASAP


    OR does anyone have any ideas how to fix it

    this would be soooo helpful!
    THANKS

    Huh? You mean your trying to disconnect the hub from the ball joint?

    You need a ball joint puller to do that.

    Something like this:

    A pickle fork will also work, just expect it to wreck the rubber of the balljoint

    looks like this





    and make sure you are using one of these, not some little wimpy one
