Answer 1

No dude.

Here is an idea. Try posting in the correct section, the General Motorcycle Section, rather then the Racing section.

Answer 2

Always give year, make,engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.

Use a "ball joint separator".

That tool is used with an air hammer.

If you can get someone to help, wedge a couple of s***w drivers and put force on it, as if you were prying it out.

Get your helper to hit it out with a hammer.

Brace the A-arm with a block of wood so it doesn't get damaged (bent when hitting).

You can try heating the A-arm with a torch (might damage the paint).
