Just use a ball joint press to put the new ones in. You can usually rent one at an auto parts store

GWM 68, when using an air hammer, are you using a special tool with that air hammer? Are you using a modified shank with an air chisel?

Guys, please here!!

The term use to be before P/C!

Use a "BMFFT"!!

NOW, it is just "use a 3-pound FT" to be P/C!!

He, He!!
