Ball joint removal

The Mopar socket comes in 3 sizes. pre-73 A-body, Imperial and pickup, and everything else. You want this one.

It's a bit pricey new. I got mine on ebay for about 1/3 new.

I use a press when I can to separate ball joint from the spindle. It takes more time but precludes damage to the car and to me as the result of an errant blow. Sometimes, however, I have to get out the BFH and swing away.
