This is just my opinion, but I would recommend renting a ball joint press from a local auto parts place. I tried a 10" C-clamp and couldn't get it to work because of the swivel head, also couldn't get enough grunt on the handle to run the bolts in. I tried using a 12" adjustable wrench to tighten the C-clamp (hole in the end of the handle over the hand of the C-clamp) only managed to bend the handle of the C-clamp. Rented the ball joint press from O'Reilly's Auto Parts, $126, but you get it back when you return the press so it really cost you $0. Works 1000X's better than a C-clamp and well worth getting.
