How to seperate the ball joint without a pickle fork!
I call this the HAMMER METHOD Here ya go, keep in mind that you are aiming for the solid round part at the end of the a-arm, NOT the nut or the threads LOL. Also, if I werent so lazy, I would have looked around for my ball peen hammer and I only would have had to strike it 2 or 3 times to pop it loose. ![]()

the new polaris ball joints are a greaseless design. there is no need to grease them and they are impossible to grease. the grease nipples on the struts have to get pulled straight out. they are a push in design rather then a screw in.
