I'm looking for an inexpensive reliable ball joint press if anyone has any good experience with tools they have bought. A couple of the cheap ones I have read reviews on like to bend.

hammer and socket !
thats cheap and if you know what your doing you wont hurt anything
remember you get what you pay for and tools are no exception
if you need one just for a one time use you can rent one form a local auto parts store that do the trick and are free as long as you return them

pretty sure you can pick up something like that at harbor freight for cheap.
