    I need ideas on how to get the drivers control arm pivot bolt loose.I
    tried using the 1/2" impact wrench with a 3/8 metric socket with
    adapter to no avail. broken are the following :3 adapters, two
    extensions, one wratchet and a half a can of liquid wrench. I do have
    leverage- 4' of steel pipe. I am trying to replace the ball joint which
    fell out after pinch bolt was removed.
    As far as that, can I press the new one into the arm myself with a c
    type hand bench arbor press?. How is it aligned? Any and all help will
    be appreciated.Thanks

    A proper ball joint press negates the need for removal of the
    control arm.
