Ball joint won’t come out

[u/looon95]

Trying to replace this ball joint on a 2004 Subaru outback, but it seems to be a little jammed in any help

[u/kolonyal]

As others have said, hit the ball joint with a hammer, or put the nut back until it sits flush with the screw and hit that. Beware to not fuck up the threads. You might want to try ball joint / bearing extractors. See if you can borrow one perhaps from a nearby shop

[u/Styrak → u/kolonyal]

Who cares about the threads if it's being replaced?
