my boyfriend and i are in the process of rebuilding the front suspension of my new 88, so we rented a ball joint press and already removed the upper and lower ball joints. the problem: when we were trying to press in the lowers, it seems to be damaging the new ball joint. do you have any tips for installing these? we put them in the freezer and called it a night. any help/tips would be great! thanks so much!

Here's a complete article I made on doing 88 Balljoints when I did the ones in my Formula:

The press shouldn't actually touch any critical parts of the balljoint if properly assembled, it will press on the hard outer shell. You also have to make sure the joint is seated properly and not going in at an angle.

Thanks for the write up! I think that'll work.
