Hi Guys i am have a big issue with get the upper arm out so i can replace my saggy cones, i can not seem to get the upper arm off the wheel hub no matter how much force i put on it will not move. You guys got any ideas how i can get this off? Thanks!

I aasume you mean the top ball joint to the top arm, its a taper so you have to either use a ball joint breaker or a shap hit with a hammer on the upper arm inline with the taper, they can be very tight and wont simply lever apart no mater how much force you put on it.

I remember them.

I use a fork and a 4lb hammer called THOR. I get a good swing and smack the fork, out the joint pops. I've never gotten one of those screw ones to work. So I just hit it harder. Like the animal I am.
