I took mine to an automotive machine shop to have them pressed out and the new ones pressed in.Actually I took the project to Columbus Spring located in Columbus Ga. They specialize in suspension repair. These suspension shops are usually jiggedto prevent bending the components.[/align]I remember grinding the rivets off to remove the balljoints and using nuts and bolts to install the new ones. I think it would be worth your time to have a suspension shop assis with this project.[/align]

grind off the rivets then use nuts and bolts for the new bushings.

Hammer the **** out of it.....lol. We found a tool that somewhat helped us remove the old ones, but it was a real.....well pain to get the new ones in.
