u joints in aluminum

[z28camaro94]

just a quick question. im thinking that its prob not a good idea to use a torch on an aluminum DS. how else would anyone recommend getting the factory plastic u joint retainer out?

i used a ball joint tool its basically a large c clamp with and open end, and and impact to turn it....but i wouldn't use a torch at all
