i have a all balls ball joint kit… i pressed the old one out with a socket and the vice then took my BJ out of the freezer cleaned up the hole with some brake clean smeared some grease around it and proceeded to install the new one back in…
it started to go in with* the a socket over it in the vice but stopped so …..
i took it to my work and put the knuckle in a 20 ton press .
..it seemed to go in fine but wasnt in far enuf to put the snap ring on and it felt like it was loose in the hole i could litterly move it in and out …so after many failed attempts with press to get snap ring back in i tacked in with the mig so i could at least get this thing back together so i thought….now the tapered end will not go through the bottom control arm …its the right part number for the quad so i am out of ideas …im thinking about trying to heat the control arm to see if it expands enough to get back in ….PLEASE HELP!!!
