can anyone help with ball joint replacement. mine broke. stud is in a arm. socket still in strut. there is nothing to pull with as it is in two pieces now. any ideas??? oh this is on a 05 sportsman. thanks in advance

 

id like to know as well.
i just hammered mine back in and its back in place.... i guess.
rode fine.

 

id recommend getting it fixed tho. dont need anbody getting hurt.
im gonna take a look at mine when i change my front brakes again. which i needed to do like a month ago.

 

If the ball came out of the ball joint, try this.
Get a new ball joint and a fine thread tap that will almost fit in the top grease hole of the ball joint. Cut some threads in the grease hole of the old joint, then screw a bolt in the hole.
Pump grease in on top of the joint using the grease fitting and that should push the joint out.

remove strut from bike. gently heat backside of housing with torch and ball joint will come out very easy and while its still hot tap new one in. just dont overheat it and ruin your seals and magnet for your awd.
