2005 TL lower ball joint - won't come free
I have been working on replacing the driver's side drive axle and CV joint. However I cannot get the lower ball joint to release from the lower arm bar. I have soaked it in lubricant with rust and thread loosen-er, but no luck yet. I have disassembled the rotor, caliper, top ball joint, steering . . . and tried with and without the wishbone being connected. I have slammed a 3lb hammer on it over and over on both sides of where the ball joint sits on the lower arm bar. I don't have a torch to heat it up. How do i get the ball joint free from the lower arm bar? Please help!
Thanks,
Bill

I've used it on half a dozen lbj's and every one of them popped without an issue and without damaging the boot.
