Default Lower ball joints..

Hey guys, I'm in the process of replacing my ball joints and I can't get the press centered on the lower joint to pop out the old one. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Or is there an alternative way of going about it ? Thanks in advance.

Is there a different size attachment for the press that you can use?

Are you using a full kit or just the basic kit. The full kit has the correct cups to place the press on center.
