oh, and you should definately get a new ball joint.

spent 30 minutes trying to get the pin out and said ---- it. (to this day, i've never got one out successfully)
yeah, i should have taken it out, but it looked like it would clear fine, 2 seconds to remove the 1 bolt holding it in would have prevented this :P
---- that ball joint in the ***.

#1... dont halfass ball joints/critical suspension components or brakes... these will save your *** when you do stupid things.
#2. I break stuff all the time, i destroyed 2 motor mounts in my accord (bottom tranny mount on crossmember and front mount broke in half) oh well shes home for now.

Re:does anyone else break stuff every time.....
you think lock tite will be sufficient on the ball joint? i mean, it's on there tight, just doesn't have the cotter pin. you would think if they moved, the cotter pin would be wedged in there when you went to take them off, i've never seen this happen before leading me to believe, they don't move, but the cotter pin is there just in case, so i could use lock tite 'just in case' right 
---- a new ball joint, i'd rather die in an accident caused by the broken one.
