I got my ball joint separator stuck on the joint. I've tried prying, hammering and tie straps with a wench all no success.

I can't offer any assistance on how to remove but I can say that it is highly recommended to NOT use a pickle fork on our cars. I would highly recommend using a claw type ball joint separator.

From the angle of the picture, get a long large extension and put I through the hole visible in the pickle fork. Then use leverage and push/pull it out

This is exactlywhat I did. Dremil tool ftw!





Had to cut it off. Will buy a separator type remover next.





I think it was bad!




This tool came in handy! One word of caution make sure the piece that slides over the rubber boot doesn't crush the boot it's a very tight squeeze. Also it's so much easier with 2 people.

I used the large flat disk to press it back on.





New ball joint pressed in!
