Hello!

I just pressed in poly bushes (yea baby!), car handles wonderful (given it was all wobbly with cheap wishbones ripping bushes after just couple of months) !

But they are so thick, that I can't undo the ball-joint anymore.

Can I clamp on the spring compressors (after jacking up on the brake disk), and then lever the ball-joint out easier?

I see no reason why not, but if you tried, name any pitfalls pls Smile

Cheers!
