Hey, im a new guy here and I've been looking into 5 lug conversion for a while and one thing I still havn't gotten straight was the replacing the front spindle with the S14 spindle, whenever I read one of those guides it says you have to press a ball joint or something or you have to drill something...... what did you do? =\

ok ok , I just read it again and it says you ahve to use the s14 hubs on the s14 spindle because its not safe to use them on the s13 spindle...... you have to use the s14 spindle and the s14 ball join so you have to put the s14 ball join in the control arm...... you said press it.... do you need a machine shop or something for that or do you just......... press it with your hands or a hammer............( never touched one before so I really don tknow )
