[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 1004087, member: 66039"] The infamous front lower ball joint. Ford in their infinite wisdom puts a tapered insert into the knuckle and then the ball joint tapers into that and once that nut gets tightened they almost never come apart. Have you put the puller on there and cranked it down while heating it up and hitting it with a hammer...fwiw this is where a GOOD air hammer is invaluable. This is how I have done them in the past however you have to be really careful with the heat or else you fudge up the ball joint. [/QUOTE]
