There is a special fork shaped tool that you wedge between it and the "A" arm with a hammer . All I know is it is made for ball joint removal . Drilling out the rivots is another story . Have fun , Rob

You used an air hammer to remove your hub assembly? or your ball joints? I dont see how to get the ball joints out, or even grind the rivets off the lower ball joint, as the front half shaft for my 4X4 is in the way and i cant get the hub assembly off.
i have the rivets for the upper ball joint ground off and its loose, but i cannot get it out. my chiltons manual says something about a special tool to force it up and out, which i dont have, but it says i can make one by using a bolt, socket, and nut, and put the bolt in the socket, and turn the nut to force the ball joint up and out, but the half shaft is in the way to preform this action. any thoughts on that?
