then it just drops out

Removing the front lower ball joint from hub. Bolt is undone and removed.
Screw driver hammered in to open the pinch joint. You hammer the lower arm, it comes out half way and wont budge a mm more.

You hit harder and harder, you curse louder and louder, then you grab the hub, give it a wiggle and lower arm drops out.

what the, is that all about?
