Thought you meant fitting the ball joint into the control arm?

There is nothing that needs pressing into anything that I can think of except the lower control arm pivot bushing and the UCA bushings.

You are obviously talking about rebushing lower control arm/upper control arm,as balljoints are not pressed in.

WHAT A FOOL!

i went to have another look this morning and i realised my mistake. i had bolted the lower ball joint on for the other side of the car which ment i was trying to fit the lower ball joint to the lower control arm from the top of the control arm insted of the bottom. changed the ball joint for the other one and it now fits perfict.
