As per this description:

Can I removed a tired Ball joint and have a new one pressed in or is the are useless at this point?

Will do, I'll do a little homework on it tomorrow. The problem is I have upwards of 8 pairs here and probably not 1 completely good pair in them. It seems a shame to have to dump them all.
