Someone please correct me if Im wrong but if they are OEM style and you were able to remove the sleeve you will need a press to get them in. I know there is a tool for this and have heard of people useing a ball joint press. The aftermarket Poly use the same metal sleeve after you remove the rubber insert and do not need a press
 
I used a ball joint press.
PM me if you need to borrow, we can hook something up when we exchange parts later.
