Can someone who has changed the worn balls that the tie rod and drag link connect to answer a question for me? When replacing with "as original" as opposed to threaded, how do you swege or peen over the end after the ball is pressed in the hole. Heat cherry red and pound or is there some tool I should use. Thanks to anyone who will chime in.

I did this on several trucks, heated the stud end red,peened it using a 3 lbs hammer, a few blows to the center of the stud .Make sure you support the ball end on a heavy vise and let the part cool naturally.
