On Wheeler Dealers Edd China would put a heavy hammer against one side of the 'joint' and hit the other side with another hammer.
I've always used a pickle fork and not had a problem. Bill in Oregon

This is not really too far off topic, it is a question about cars. One of my boys and I just replaced ball joints on the 2006 Subaru. I've done this twice now and these things are really hard to break loose. Both times I ended up using a steel firewood splitting wedge and a very big hammer because nothing else we had worked. We even had a borrowed pickle fork , a very large pry bar. So while we were breaking these things loose I am always wondering what the real guys use for this job. These were in the car for 161K and did not want to come out. Whats anyone else do for this job? Max
