I have take street bike wheels apart a million times, and this is much harder!!

2 part question....

How do I get the old ball joint out of the lower strut? I ordered new ones from All *****, but I can't get the old ones out. I have tried heat, and everything, but won't budge. There is a zirc there, but I can't get that out to use air to try to pop it out!!

How do I get the old bearing races out of inside the stru assembly? The ones in there are rusted and worn, and I really don't want to put new bearings on the old races!!

thanks in advance for any help!!

You really need a puller to get them out and a driver tool to install.
There is a guy on here that made a puller.I think it was scramblerXrated
