RedHawk,

I also was a little puzzled by Heidt's comments on the ball joints, but Rob at Heidts was very specific that they recommend to remove them. It may be due to something else in the ball joint itself other than grease. Not sure, but he was adamant about removing them prior to powder coating. Seems to me that a steel on steel ball joint wouldn't be effected by bake temps other than liquefying the grease.
