Alright. So I technically got 3/4 ball joints off, but none of the a-arms mounted have ball joints in them...
So I got 2/4 c-clips off somewhat easily. And 1/4 I managed to cut off the top of the ball joint and slide the clip off...the other one.... well....
I couldn't even get the c-clip to budge, so I go to cut the top off like the last one, and lo and behold, I cut too low and essentially fuse the c-clip to the bj body. Well great. Now what do I do? I can't cut it because it's too close to the a-arm tab. So I go to by parts I got with the kart and there we go. One fresh top right a-arm (albeit with its balljoint still mounted). So I manage to pry THAT ball joint off and just swapped out the a-arms. So lesson learned. Don't cut the ball joints off.
I also managed to only get one new tie rod end in as only one was able to be taken out atm. Well, its been quite a day so I'm loggin' off. talk to y'all later!
