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.

Was it a problem pressing in the bushings or the wet bolts? The kit came with the wet bolts pressed into the shackles.
