get a proper press. It will make life a whole lot easier for you as those things are in good. I just did mine. We had to use a hydraulic press and air hammer to get the lower BJs out

Not sure about your truck, but I just changed both upper and lower on the driver side of my 3500 yesterday. Top wasn't very bad but had to really put some pressure on it with the press to get it to press out. Lower was a small pain to get to, but once I got to it, I put a jack under the lower control are and used an eight pound sledge and hammered it out. Got it all back together and I am not waiting on the alignment man to align the front end . Good luck. Barry
