? regarding lower ball joints

Hello all, I need some help on how the easiest way is to get that lower ball joint back into the control arm. Could I just align it up to the hole and tighten that castle nut and pull it into place? It's a '94 S-10 2WD. Thanks.

You need a ball joint press. You can get one for free from the loan-a-tool programs at pepboys, advance, or autozone. Simply put a deposit on the tool when you check it out. You get it back when you return it.
