Hi everyone, I recently decided to change the control arms in my car. In the process we noticed that tha ball joint in the front spindles were also warned out. I bought new joints from ebay, but no one wants to remove the ball joint because the spindle is aluminum or some softer metal.

Anyone had this issue before?
Here Is a pic for reference.
It can be done with a press. Members here have found shops to remove the old ones and press in new or have done it themselves (myself included).
When you post onto someone else's thread, it can be unclear to members who is requesting help even though you mentioned the year. Also, it's good to mention awd or rwd for future postings. Hope someone can help you.
seems its easier just replace the knuckle with ball joint all together.
Question is, if its easy to separate the knuckle with the wheel bearing & Hub? if they are seized then the bearing needs replacement as well.
