to take it out hit it with a hammer unless your keeping it for something turn the knuckle upside down and hit the balljoint out((your hitting it fromt he screw part NOT the flat part))but to put it in you need a press

take off the whole brake assembley with the balljoint still attached and have it pressed out and a new one pressed in. some machine shops will have a hard time getting their press on it so u may have to go to honda
