I'm trying to install an adjustable front track bar from RE on my 95 ZJ. I can't find alot of help over at NAGCA so I'll give it a shot here. The rear track bar was a struggle, but I finally got it out. But now, I cant seem to get the front bar removed at the ball joint on the frame side. I've borrowed a buddy's air compressor and air hammer with pickel fork, but I can't get it to break free. Is there a certain method to use? Thanks a lot for any help.

Try using a BFH and hitting the side of the bracket where it mounts.

I use a "hand drive" pickle fork and a BFH. The air hammer method only works on newer stuff.

I'll give the BFH another try tomarrow, might have been getting tired when I tried it today. Thanks for the suggestions.

Heres what worked for me!1/2" bolt and rod coupling and a few spacers.Built a "little jack" between the frame and the "rod end",get it as tight as possble(if the joint doesnt break loose),one good pop with the hammer and it flew out of there!
