sucks bad! i finally gave up trying to bust apart my front end when i replaced shocks/springs. i had to give it to my mechanic to bust it all apart since it was rusted together so badly after 90k+ miles.

I am sure you have figured this out by now, but incase you are still pondering it... you need a ball joint remover tool. When I was just learning my skills of repairing car I use to use everything imaginable to get those kind of things apart, usually for hours. Then when I grew up I figured out that with the right tool I could spend a lot more time driving and had a lot less injuries. Hope you got this figured out and didn't have to take it to the stealership.
