    I hope you didn't beat them into place as you may have damaged a needle bearing. I finally bought a ball joint press with u-joint adapters just for better control

    I thought the same thing, Dave. Usually when I have had a bearing fall out of the group it has ruined the cap or the needle bearing due to pressing or beating too hard, trying to get the cap that last little bit

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
