Ball joint removal on a 240 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Teal 240 on  Tue Apr 29 03:27 CST 2003 [RELATED]

After failing the State safety inspection for ball joints (along with the generous offer from the shop to do the repair at $425) I have ordered ball joints from Groton. I'm concerned about the seven bolts attaching the joint to the control arm and spindle- should I heat them up with a propane torch if they're stuck? I spent an hour and a can of PB Blaster with a rear shock bolt and fear I'll have the same rust issues with the balljoint bolts. Is this a good idea/bad idea?
