OEMTOOLS 25104 21-Piece Master Ball Joint Press Kit, Ball Joint Puller for Upper and Lower Ball Joints, U-Joints, and Brake Pins, Automotive Tool Kit Compatible with 2WD and 4WD Vehicles

Purchased this set to change the ball joints in my 2001 Suburban 1500 (4WD). It worked flawlessly! Both lowers were original equipment and at 304k pretty stuck. A quick application of the good old Blue Wrench and this tool popped them out and in with no issue!I will say that, as with any threaded tool, lubrication of the ram threads is essential!! I used old engine oil and a good amount at that.Good price, solid build and well worth it!

So I heard about this wonderful tool that could take u-joints out without using a hammer and length of rod over a vise. I hopped on Amazon and after a bit of searching I found this OEMTool that seemed to fit my bells and whistles just perfectly.I tell you I think I just discovered sliced bread with this thing!!I have a 1994 Ford F250 4x4 that is rusted solid from one end to the other and the u-joints on this thing were no exception. We had beat out a couple of them using the old mechanic method mentioned above but then I gave this bright green monster a try and hit the electric cordless impact on it and pretty soon I heard a loud crack and that u-joint just popped loose like Mother Goose and I didn't mash one finger miss hitting that rod with that six pound sledge! Why yippee skippee!I then gave the other side a try and wouldn't ya know it...it wouldn't pop loose. I had to fight that a bit from both sides but pretty soon it gave up the Casper ghost and it popped loose again like Mother Goose (whatever that means) and I was on my way to happy land.Unlike some buyers on here, my C-Clamp held up to my abuse quite well. My case came in quite intact with no cracks or broken hinges.I'm quite the happy camper.I don't like that neon green color. I don't like green. Too many years in the Army looking at green did me in on that color. But it sure shows up on my messy workbench in finding it!That is all.

I’ll preface this with I used to have the SnapOn Kit and it got stolen, replaced it with this and it works fine and all but I wish the joints would snap together because holding an impact, clamp, and 2-4 adapters is the pain

literally the most difficult part of using this kit was getting the basic b moog c clips off the Chinesium R spec balljoints for paint prep prior to throwing in problem solver ck rated all steel balljoints w zerks. lube your clamps' threaded bar along with plenty of lube on the body of the balljoint/pocket during removal and installation.go slow and make sure your bj is centered in the cups along with installing straight into the pocket of the control arm.Great kit, lots of suv sized cups 👍👍

Good tool to have for so it yourself

Awesome

Purchased based on overall positive reviews. However, mine broke during first use. The holder end cracked off while attempting to remove a lower ball joint. No impact gun was used, I was using a ½ inch rachet with a small pipe for leverage (approx 12” of additional leverage). Hope to return for refund or replacement, hope I don’t get push back on return, so many companies push back anymore. I will update on level of service received in a later post.

You need to use the extra longer ball joint press to use 2 cups, but works so great, and makes the job fasterLarry A
