stupid ball joints

[JJacobs]

Looking at the ball joint press you used it appears to have the standard, round adapters. Did you borrow a set of the wedge shaped ones, or if not what was done to shim the ball joints as they went in? You know what I mean, where the face of the knuckle is NOT perpendicular to the forcing screw of the press- makes for some exciting moments.

Word.
worked really well too. In fact I'd say pressing the 4 joints in took a total of 3 minutes each.
