Hope ya dont cool the arm in the water, not a good idea. Ya dont want to change the metal strength with a torch and water on yer control arms. Not a jab, just 2c .

I am about to do the same procedure on my MII cross fer the Plydo. Dont think I'll have a problem forking over some dough for the shop to press em. Grinding and drilling out the riveted ball joints was enough fun fer me, they dont exactly fit in the drill press too stable. Mebe I'll try the freezer an air chizel fer fun on one an see howz it goes.
