Couldnt i just place the bolt on it and it will press it in or use a BFH to put it in? No doubt the self help garage will have a press for me to use. Thanks man
nope, it needs to be pressed in evenly. if you use the bolt, it will go in circles and left and right cause of the torque on the bolt. does that make sense? lol...theres no way you could even get a LFH back there since the upper arm is in the way, also part of the hub is directly above it...the balljoint is recessed into the axle mount.
basically doing it without the press-in kit will destroy the joint making it little pieces you have to pick out, and putting it back in will be a PITA.
i can do one side start to finish in 45 minutes with the right tools...book time is 2 hours per side
