After much blood, sweat and tears - I finally gave in and took these bad-boy-control-arms to a machine shop to press out the old ball-joints and press in the new. Yes - there are just some things even I can't do myself. Now I have all new ball-joints and tie-rod ends - Let's start the frontend assembling already! (Now if I can just get the missing box of parts UPS lost for me! I'm still crying over that one)
