Perfect-fit ball cups

Some ball cups fit so tightly on the ball joints that you end up with a binding problem. To fix this, remove one of the ball joints, and chuck the threaded portion into a Dremel rotary tool or drill. Snap a ball cup onto the ball joint, and set the Dremel or drill to a slow speed. Wiggle the ball cup up and down and from side to side while the ball joint rotates inside. This will create a nearly perfect fit.
