Help!! presser cup stuck to ball joint
Help, I'm trying to replace the ball joints on my 95 dodge ram. I got the upper ball joint in but when I tried to put the lower ball joint in the dang presser cupling thing got stuck on the ball joint and I just cant get it off!
I've been at this all day. Is anyone awake out the that can walk me through this. I think it was just luck I even got the upper one on. But the dang lower ball joint just isn't going on. Anyone! Help please!

1) You can try and use a 3 jaw puller. 2) Heat it up with a MAP torch, then dump cold water on it. Then hit it with a BFH. You'll have to replace the dust boot, but that just the lesser of two evils.
