My ball joints are very stubborn. I tried a pipe wrench and they don't budge. Is there a specific tool that goes in the slots on the bottom ring to make removal easier? I haven't given up on the idea of driving to Okteenerfest yet.

I use the special socket on an impact, and use a jack to hold the impact tight to the nut. Zap a few times, heat and penetrate fluid, lather rinse repeat until the nut spins off.
