Default Re: Removing ball joint

So I ended up removing the wishbone and knuckle, drilling out the rivets, then using the ball joint separator and a rattle gun, loaded the ball joint right up, then smacked the knuckle again with a hammer.

Ball joint exploded out of the knuckle, never to be seen again ������

Next problem. Pressing out the bearing. My 6 tonne press isn't up to the job. Any suggestions what size press I need?
