Re: Lower ball joint install
I was having some trouble with mine, kept slipping on the press, so I took them to a trusted ancient mechanic who has every tool, device, and press known to man. He actually has a lighted SnapOn display cabinet they gave him with pullers and presses.
He promptly took a big f'n hammer and whacked it 3 times and it was in. Protect the bolt, that's all I remember!
I actually have a ball joint press and I know he has the same one, but the hammer seems to work for the lowers especially well.
