Splitting steering box / arm ball joint
As well as doing the 1.6 swap i'm fitting jimny PS.
How the F' do i get the steering arm ball joint out. Undone/wire brushed the split pin off. Nut came off dead easy but the stud is seized in the arm solid.
Or do i just swap steering arm over?

Re: Splitting steering box / arm ball joint
I tryed everything to try and get mine out and it woulden't budge. It even broke my gear puller. Then i found somewhere online that said you just have to hit it on the side with a hammer. I tryed that and it popped right out .
