Ball Joints
He guys, i'm changin out the ball joints on my 87 Comanche, (Dana 30) I'ts a straight forward process, but i'm having the hardest time getting the steering knuckle off, i've got a ball joint separator and a ball joint press. I've hammered the heck out of the poor knuckles, but the wont budge. What's the secret? Any tips/tricks? I'ts my first time changin ball joints, so anything helps. Thanks!

No hidden c clip. I always use a 4lb hammer and beat the **** out of it, sometimes its easy and sometimes its a PITA.
