OEMTOOLS OEM TOOLS 25105 Extra Large Ball Joint Press

Barely did a full.ball joint job and is now garbage

واضح عليه المتانة العالية وجودة التصنيع للآن ما أستخدمته ولكن واضح عليه راح يفك أزمة كبيرة في شغلات كثيرة في اصلاحات السيارة عندي

This set is great, with a few issues. Like the title says. If you change ball joints you need this set. Yes, you can rent a set at most auto parts places and hope the tool they give you isn't so beat up its unusable and has the cups you need. Or you can get this set and KNOW you have what you need... mostly. I used it on an F-250 and had to use a piece of flat stock as the combination of cups I needed was too long for the C-clamp to fit. For most cars this wouldn't be an issue. The only design flaw I found was that the cups are not set up to lock together. In most cases the user has to stack cups together so the ball joint has clearance to be pressed out. This makes it so the user has to have thee or more hands or a helper to keep the cups aligned while tightening the clamp. When working alone, this can get very frustrating. Other than that, the set worked great and was well worth the money. I recommend it for even the home diy guy, like myself.

I was skeptical in my purchase of this press as the reviews are not great. folks experienced stripped screw shafts, bent frame etc, stating that its a one time use tool. I replaced all four ball joints on a 2014 Ram 2500HD and the tool held up with no issue. Be sure to grease the screw shaft liberally before use and implementing a large hammer to persuade those factory OEM joints out was helpful. Even after beating on the press with a 4lb sledge (although its now missing some paint) the tools is still in working condition and useable. EMF ball joints has a great tutorial video on YT of removal and installation (watch it first) I also purchased the "master ball joint installer/remover adapter set" from OEM (which you will need) and while it is quite cumbersome finding the right combination of adapter sleeves to press the joints out and back in, it ultimately worked! I can't promise this will work on your application but I did for me. Good luck and happy wrenching!

I rented an OEMTool set previously, but I needed additional size rings for my Jeep. Easy to use and I got all of the ball joints out and back in quickly. Not sure when I will need to do suspension work again, but I am glad I have this set.
