We cannot get the lower ball joint loose on my Hyundai elantra 2000.... is there a trick?
Ball joints have a slight "interference" fit when tightened, and that makes them stubborn breaking them loose. The first, best, way to remove them is with a ball joint removal tool you can most likely rent or borrow from your local auto parts store. Failing that, a good size hammer hit on the steering knuckle where the tapered end of the ball joint fastens will often break the tension enough to free the joint.

How would you replace the ball joint on your 90 accord?
I'm assuming that you are talking about the front lower ball joint as they are the most common. You remove the tire then remove the axle nut in the center of the rotor it is a should be a 32mm socket. removw the lower ball joint nut, it is a 17mm socket then with a ball hammer hit the metal casing were the ball joint goes through the lower control arm, do not hammer on the ball joint itself! it will change tone when the socket pops. when it pops pick up the assembly by the rotor and remove the lower ball joint arm from the lower control arm and remove the axle from the hub assembly. there is a retainer clip on the lower part of the ball joint that you will need to remove you will need a pair of snapring pliers for this. after removing the snapring you need to hammer the ball joint up and out of the hub. Just do these instructions backwards to install. Good luck If it's the UPPER ball joint, the whole control arm has to be replaced (the ball joint is made into the control arm, and it's non replaceable). Remove cotter pin and nut from ball joint. Get a big, heavy hammer, and hit the spindle as close to the ball joint as possible (you may have to whack it a few times). That will break the ball joint loose from the spindle. Once is loose, remove the bolts that attach the control arm to the body.
