those are gay.

heres a good way next time, this doesnt involve bashing the ---- outta the thing.

jack the rotor up until the car kinda tilts so u know its all the way up. then slide a the handle end of a 1/2 ratchet between the lca and rotor mount thing, like jam it right up to the boot of the balljoint.

lower rotor down, and the spring force will pop it off. every time..

good luck :) ill get some pics of this way bcs one of my axle boots is ripped, pos.
