Got a set of new clearanced ball joints...
know anyone or perhaps ur self who can fit em in for a reasonable price?

Rather than travellin to northside it'd be nice if someone was close to home...

I would fit em on the mechanical press at uni, but they wouldn't even let us touch a screw driver without worries about public liability claims... sigh...

dont 4 get there directional and must be fitted the correct way as they will bind and be restricted in movement

it took an old 50 ton press to knock My originals out...

the 20 tonne press wouldn't move them....

so You really need a very large press to knock them out..

Maybe better to take them to a VW mechanic who has a press .. as You don't want them installed incorrectly..

best of luck

Maybe a teacher at the Uni might show You how its done.
lol.... and do them for You.... lol
