Gotta figure and tried to pull of the head to do a swap. The ball joint came off in the head. How do I get that ball joint out of the head?

Run a screw into it a little then yank the screw (ball attached) out.

That's a tough one. I'd say your best bet is to boil the head until the plastic is soft, then try to dig it out with a dull knife (or really tiny spoon).

That sucks! I don't know BUT, I would suggest dropping the head in a mug of boiled water for about 30 seconds, then trying to get it out w/ some very small tweezers. Maybe scrape some of the area around it away w/ an x-acto knife first. That's just what I would try.

If you have a dremel, use a small bit to bore out the ball joint. I've had to do this more than once.
