if your talking the ball joint... you can sit it up on the grab bar so you have room to smack, get a sharp pointed center punch that has about a 30 degree angle of the point and get a decent size hammer and a couple dead center smacks, nice and hard should get it out no problem. mine poped right out after the 4th hit, one side was sticky like so it moved each hit, the other side it took 3 to get loose then the 4th just popped it out.
