Hi, I have a 1997 F150, I have bolt off the bottom othe ball joint and the c ring off the top can get the ball joint out, tried heat, penetraiting oil and a BFH to beat the heck out of it but it won't budge..... Any hints??

You mean the nut of the ball joint? Put it back on lose. Do you have the jack under the A arm holding the truck up?

 

yes the ball joint nut is off, jack stand under frame//

 

Put the jack under the A arm, That will help compress the suspension and take some of the load off the ball joint.

 

I recently replaced upper and lowere ball joints on my 97. I went to autozone and picked up the tool to remove and replace ball joints, the only way to go. Tools were $100 and you get your money back when you return tools.
