Thanks guys

The 2 grunt method works well especially when the f***** balljoint wont split
pickle fork dont work!! put back together and buy a draper type splitter ........It's too small ......thinks, i know, i'll grind a tiny bit out so It will fit over the end of the arm.....not too much or It will bend!!!........It's f*** In bent!!!

Put all back together for second time and gonna get a commercial type joint splitter!!!

Mind you I'm getting kind of quick at It now.
