I have a 2001 2500 4x4 with a Dana 60 front end, I'm trying to replace the ball joints, I have pulled the 4 bolts out of the bearing housing and I tryed the trick with the power steering (pushing on the bolt head with a socket and extension) it will not work for me it is very rusty, does anyone have any tricks or any other Ideas

Thanks ,
Darin

Have you tried a penetrant like PB Blaster? A torch to heat up the joint? A ball joint removal tool? A wire wheel to remove some excess rust surrounding the joint?
