I've never had that much trouble with a balljoint. Might have something to do with the "no rust" thing we have out here. My old truck the balljoints would just pop out even if I didn't want them to.

Re: crx project v1.154345
you can seperate it. get a large 5 foot piece of pipe get leverage on it and go to town. Also make sure to spray some penetrating lube
I have never had a ball joint that didnt want to seprate
You also dont have to take them off to begin with to remove the motor
You can remove the control arm from the frame 14mm bolt. The shafts that connect the control arm from the crossmemeber 2 17mm bolts and 17mm suspension bolts on the wishbone
swing it out and there no need to remove the nut from hell. dont forget your cotter pins need to be replaced or enjoy wrecking your car
ball joint bolt should also be impacted on has well. With cotter pin installed afterwards
welcome to HMT the real version
