Upper front suspension

[sausage2003]

Does anybody know the right way in removing the upper ball joint from the knuckle Is there a special tool that must be used?

Does anybody have a clue how to remove the front upper ball joint off the steering knuckle so I can change the upper control arms to lude arms

Hit it with a hammer and use a ball joint fork or a pickle fork (I am not sure what it's callled). Since your replacing it and can't reuse the joint anyhow just use any means possible w/o screwing up the knuckle. I used the fork and mine popped right out after a few wacks of the hammer, and that was on a 140K original suspension.
