Hello,

Now I am working on 89 honda accord coupe, and ball joint in the rear
upper
arm is broken.( ball joint is out of rear upper arm boot.)
I could not take the damaged ball joint out of knuckle because there
are no
nut, cotter pin... all things seems melted together. I can not see any
nut
or....
Any suggesion?

Thank you guys in advance.

There could still be a plastic cap over the nut and cotter pin. Usually it
falls out.

Thanks for response,
I had taken the plastic cap out. and could not see any nut or cotter
pin.
It seems bushing and nut all melt together.
Is there any tool I can use to puse them all out?
Otherwise I have to take Knuckle out and send to repair shop.
