Eric,
Thank you for the offer.
I was actually able to get the ball joints in using a
'custom' fitting made from a 1" pipe coupling and my
'domestic' ball joint press. I needed a 3' breaker bar
to get it pushed in but I got it seated properly!
My only issues now are the lower control arm bushings
(what a PAIN those are to replace) and my coil spring
comressor broke- Luckily I was 10 feet away when it
let loose!

Thanks again!
Elm.

put them together.
