I helped a neighbor today , replacing the upper ball joint and
a-frame bushings on his '05 Chevy truck . Too bad I didn't realize that
spacer sleeve was too short ... and I bent the threaded part of the
tapered shaft of the new ball joint right at the cotter key hole . I
wondered why it was being so obstinate , didn't want to go in straight
and took a lot more force than I thought it should . I don't think this
model of HF press was meant to have a 20 ton jack ... Tim Taylor got
nothin' on me ! Har-har-har , More Power !
