Hi.
Currently struggling a bit with removing the steering knuckle. (I am aware "a bit" sounds bonkers, this is the first time i have had trouble separating ball joints but then also the first time I have had to try and do two at once, if that makes sense.)
All the ball joints seem to have separated a bit from the knuckle , but I am a bit scared of doing harm.
Would it make any sense to unscrew the tension collet, a bit/a lot/not at all in order to help free the lower ball joint ?

Thanks in advance.
 
To be clear, all the other joints, drag link etc, are off, tis only the upper and lower ones giving trouble.

no whack it with a large hammer or use a forked splitter you can do 1 at a time
