If someone has one and would not mind a quick visit, I'd appreciate it. I have to squeeze out some ball joints. I can go to a garage but I hate going to professionals when I want to do the whole thing myself. I've tried the c-clamp and no way. I would buy one at harbor freight but the size of it keeps me away from buying one.

 

I may need one too.

 

Scott,, go to this thread about your problem, may give you the DIY answer.

@scottatl wish I lived closer - have a 20ton press sitting in the garage.

 

I have one Scott, and you're welcome to come and use it. PM me with phone number.

That is very nice of you. I will PM you my phone number and we can find some time.

 

Thanks Ron!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Ron today. What a nice man! With the right tool, a 20 ton press, removing and reinserting the ball joints is simple. The only advance prep is to cut off the lips of the old joint so he can easily secure the joints for the press.

 

Yep, RJ is the Man.
