    In my experience want to remove the ball joint you take a wire brush or sandpaper fine grit juice and the inside of the control arm and then clean it free because most likely there is build up a smooth surface is the best way to go I'm just saying

    I'm being respectful the ball joint kit comes with a cylinder that you don't have to put the c-clamp directly onto the top of the this is the purpose to hold a clamp stem in place therefore you drive it out directly no left-to-right call The joint to take an unwanted path
