Try putting a jack under the control arm to take some of the deflection out of the Suspension so that your blows are more productive. Try that before heating it.

Just finished the front. Just need to do the rear. What i ended up doing is making my own ball joint separator jig following the step by step instruction from this guy on another forum

Rubbing pretty bad. Right now I have 295/50/15 for rear tires, I was thinking getting 275/60/15. Any suggestions?
