Day 8 Continued....
So here are the tools for removing the ball joints. Notice the fire extinguisher (safety first)! The first attempts at removing the ball joins using a press were unsuccessful. After Tony (my main man on this project) read a few internet posts he decided that the only way to make it work would be to super heat them and knock the crap out of them till they came out.
So then came the torch!
Success!

It's all fun and games until the torch comes out.

Funny stuff! Thanks for the comments. :)
