Harbor Freight has this press for only $100:

It's only 6 tons though. Is that enough to press out old ball joints and press in new ones?

I went to Harbor Freight today with a 20% off coupon in my hand. They had a 12 ton press on sale for $129. With my coupon the total price was $103 plus tax. Here's the one I got:

Hopefully 12 tons will be enough. Now I need to find someplace to hide a 12 ton floor press where my wife won't notice it.

...hey, now that I think about it, I oughta just go ahead and buy the ball joints and do them at the same time I do the lower bushings. Judging from what I've seen in the JTIS, the lower control arms are going to be a lot more difficult to remove.
