you can take a hammer and lightly tap evenly around the ball joint until it goes all the way in. If you hit it too hard, you can damage the casing around the ball joint and damage it. Would be a lot easier if you have them pressed in at a shop.

i believe the clip goes on once the ball joint is placed.. underneath.
