Upper Ball Joint Trouble!
Need any advice I can get about a very stuck upper ball joint on an 86 runner. I think I was giving very bad advice and now I'm in a bad situation! Any help would be great!!

Have new ball joints. The problem is the ball joint was stuck and someone said to cut the joint off and drill out the tread. Did not work! Bad Advice!! Now the treaded stud is stuck in the knuckle and will not come out with any puller or ball hammer trick. Any advice?

holy crap, that's like a half inch stud have fun with that drilling...
yeah why wouldn't you just use the proper tool to begin with? just wondering
but at any rate, the hole in the knuckle is tapered, so even drilling out the threads is not going to get all of it out, just fyi
