I have a 2009 Subaru Outback. I am trying to change the ball joints. I live in the Northeast and drive in the snow quite a bit.
I have removed the bolt from the yoke for holding in the ball joint in the yoke. Had to heat the yoke before the bolt would come out. I have broken loose the ball joint stud from the A-Frame with an air impact ball joint tool. I am stuck on extracting the ball joint from the yoke.
I have tried the socket between the A-frame and yoke (not misplaced on the ball joint). I have heated it. Used PB. Tried to expand the joint in the yoke. Let it soak in PB overnight with pressure on it. I have used a 6' pry bar between the A-frame and yoke. Nothing I do will make the ball joint come out. This is the second day of trying to get it out. Any suggestions?
