I bet if you really cleaned that socket good, put the joint in the freezer overnight before installation and used a little light oil during installation it would have been a lot easier. This is all in the archives.
Also they are not that hard to pound out. You would have spent your $7.00 better by having a shop press them in for you.

Just to put the record straight for the archives, I did do all of those things. I finally had to use the impact gun because the vice could not hold the twist of the wrench.
I thought that the $7 was a bargain for pressing the joints out. I believe that I stated in my post that I took these to a machine shop. They did not want to mess with pressing them in. There are no MB dealers or indy's within 100+ miles of me, so I am on my own. I could not have completed the job without an impact gun. You tell me, what is it with people and impact guns?
