Quick tip for everyone.

If you are changing ball joints on a 83 gmc an you are trying to get the old ones out. (press in)  After beating on one for a few min because they won't move, TRY GOING THE OTHER WAY!! 2 friggen hours later,when I finally smartened up, it took about 30 seconds to pop out! >:( :( :o ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\
