Re: Ball joints?
68chevyfuelie is correct. You are going to have to deal with the source of the interference between the bearing and the spindle. Both bearings should slide onto their respective places on the spindle rather easily....not sloppy, but definately not hard.
The bearings (inner and outer) must be packed with grease and the inner gets installed into the back of the hub/rotor. Then it gets "trapped" by the seal. I have never seen anyone attempt to install a knuckle with the axle and spindle already attached? It certainly didn't come apart that way.... Either way, you still need the socket that turns the upper ball-joint sleeve. There is a specific sequence and torque specification for this...
