We are trying to replace the front lower balljoint onn my car at rarerims and have gone past the point of no return. The problem is we need some heat to enable us to remove the joint.

If anyone local could do me a huge favour and lend us a blow torch we should be able to get it sorted in seconds....

Any help would be greatly received

Lol! I had the same conversation with him when trying to remove a track rod end!
Chris: Now apply basic physics and hit the end and the rod will drop out

Me: *taps the end*

Chris: stop being a girl and HIT IT!

Me: *wham* and the end fell out!
