    I have the HF kit, and then found a piece of pipe that was the right size and used it. Don't think the HF kit had the right one, without buying the extra fit kit

    I also spent 700 bucks on it. I have the cheap harbor freight one at the house and just use it as a u joint press.

    I pop the new ball joints in the freezer overnight and then I warm up the control arm with a torch and then put a little grease on the ball joint and they slide right in every time.
