franklin balljoint splitter (ta330)

4.5" angle grinder with thin cutting disk (i cut everything with this)

20 mins max

 

Looks like I am going to hav elots of fun doing this!!
Thanks for the help guys il crack on with it tomorrow.

 

Sorry re-read the thread, You cant get the tca balljoint out of the hub?

I wouldnt just saw thru it, cos then it ll just be stuck in the hub and itll be harder to remove!!

What seems to work is use a pry bar to put gentle downward pressure on the TCA then hit the side of the balljoint casing with a hammer. The idea is that the hammer hit shocks the metal and releases its grip on the balljoint.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhh so much hassle!
Il take note of all the tips when I try this tomorrow.

 

Hit the housing, the hub carrier which is malliable iron, whilst levering on the toe arm.
Hit it hard, with a 2lb hammer.
