heat the bag out of the knuckle and it should slip in thats what i always do get the whole knuckle glowing red , pressing them is usually takes too long and you get more pissed off. just make sure you cover the ball joing with white lithium grease or something when you put it in, that helps alot. sometime the last 1/8- 1/16 of an inch has to be tapped in wil a hammer or pressed in with a bal joint tool or c clamp....

your not heating the whole knuckle, just around the ball joint. that wont change nothing. I wouldnt suggest concentrating heat on the whole knuckle though.
