Hi,
Finally got around to doing my six pillowballs last night. Used a press for the 4 lower ones and Max's bolt method for the 2 upper ones. Took my mate and I about 2 hours all up to do and that was taking half an hour to find a high tensile bolt that was long enough to do the bolt removal. We tried a normal bolt and the damn thing broke off. Those pillowballs are tough little suckers.
Rear of the car feels tighter now and the clunking is gone. I wanted to say thanks to Max for his excellent writeup. Made it easy to do, even for someone as mechanically challenged as myself
If you have rear clunks, like Nike says, just do it.
