...not too long ago I picked up a bunch of tools and decided to have a go at rebuilding the front end on my C3 myself.
I'm attempting to remove the ball joints/pop them if you will, and I'm having trouble as I haven't done it before.
Car is on 4 jackstands.
Cotter pin is out, nut backed off, just left on a little bit.
I tried with the fork, hammering it in, and then pulling up and down, to no avail.
Could the picklefork possibly be hitting the bottom lip of the upper a-arm, preventing it from really getting leverage?
Trying to learn from others mistakes, so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated...
