Any tips on removing a-arms from spindle?

[01bansheefox]

My stock a-arms will not come out of my spindles..... tried hitting with a hammer but dont want to damage anything 2 much. And yes i removed the nuts

The best thing I've found is to use a good heavy hammer and hit on the side of the part of the spindle where the ball joint bolt goes thru the spindle while pulling on the A arm. Usually a couple solid whacks and it's off.

screw the nut backonto the end of the ball joints, so about 3/4 of the nut is on, then smack that fucker with a hammer, then you dont have to worry about stripping messing up the threads.

I just took my a arms off a couple weeks ago and a BFH is what I had to use. 3 good whacks and it was off! That didn't sound right

Do this or you will be verry sorry. You might even cry after you mushroom those threads.

I use a dead blow hammer and tap the spindle a couple times while applying pressure to the arm as above pops right out. If you tap on the arms it
