Question Re: Shocks and struts replacement on 2003 Windstar LX

Yes, not knowing the terminology... a split journal is where this lower control arm ball joint sits... I've got all the bolts out... I just didn't think me angling a screwdriver in there to slightly spread the hub's metal would actually work... i mean its is quite BEASTY THICK METAL.

SO THATS IT, NO OTHER DIY KNOWN METHOD TO GET THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT BOLT OUT OF THE HUB'S SPLIT JOURNAL??

I guess I should rent a ball joint separator tool if I want this to go quick. Was trying to avoid more money and time.
