I have an S14 A/C compressor you can have if you want it Eric.

And just use a hammer. If your carefull it will turn out just fine. I actuall think using a hammer is easier for just a roll. I've been meaning to do it to my car I just havent gotten around to it.

well just got finished with replacing the front lower ball joints.i rented the ball joint press from advanced it cost $171.61 but i got it all back that thing works like a charm..
and now i need a damn alignment. the ball joints were so bad it caused my front tires to be worn to the thread on the inside....
and now that i did all this as im turning something is still popping/banging any ideas?????

if theyre preloaded too much it could be a cause, or worn t/c bushings.
check the pillowballs too.

also, unlike dudes said before, coilovers shouldnt really be preloaded. they should just be tight enough so that when theres no weight on the car the springs barely move.

preloading can get you lower and stuff, but it makes your car drive like a bucket of smashed dicks.

they might be preloaded to much cause when the front is in the air the springs dont move at all..
from my understanding to re preload is that you lift the car up and loosen the big nut on top do something with the spring and tighten it back up or something in that area.
