I disagree with your "90%" of HF is crap, some is, some isn't but 90%
is way too high a number. I don't expect you to agree but I don't buy
off there catalog either, my HF shopping is done ONLY at the store.

I also disagree with the subject/statement of this thread. I worked
at a front end shop for over 5 years and in the time I changed a lot
of ball joins. A lot of them, and our only "press" was a vice mounted
on the bench for support, drifts of various length, large sockets as
adapters and a 5 lb hammer.
