Orion Motor Tech Ball Joint Press Kit, Heavy Duty Ball Joint Tool with 4x4 Adapters, Ball Joint Removal Tool Kit for Most 2WD and 4WD Cars and Light Trucks

I have an 03 Ram 3500 with a 6” lift and 37” tires on 17” rims. I say this so you know, this truck has seen some rough times. I tried going the rented route from both autozone and oreillys auto parts. These presses were okay, but ultimately used and poorly maintained. I actually sheared the threads off of the ball joint press from autozone. Got my money back, no problem.Then, after being mad as heck over how hard it was to get my ball joints out (7 hours of tear apart) I decided, I’m probably going to have to do this again in a few years so I may as well have my own press. This press came in in about 5 days, which with the COVID impact on shipping was great! And still better and faster than expected.This had all of the cups I needed to install the ball joints. The only issue I had was the threads got heated and started to bur up pretty bad, and after breaking 4 1/2” drive breaker bars (I never said we were smart) we decided to do some investigating. With a couple brushes of some anti-seize and running it in and out a few times (I highly recommend an impact, even though it suggests not using one) the press worked like a dream. Came to the realization that most of the broken tools were from fighting the ball joint press itself and not the actual ball joint. I highly recommend this product to anybody that is working with ball joints, and even though it says it’s for up to 3/4 ton trucks, it will handle a 1 ton with no issue.Again I will stress what other people have said... USE OIL OR SOME ANTI-SEIZE ON THE THREADS!! That is the only reason I gave this a 4 star for durability, though honestly it was probably some operator error. This is significantly cheaper than a press you can get in stores, and does the job very well. I would recommend to pretty much anybody and have already had people asking to borrow it when I’m done.

It's heavy duty and it covers a lot of cars and trucks great buy for the price

replace ball joint on a mazda b4000

If you have used one of these before, you will have no issues. However, if you have not, and try to figure it out from the parts list or "instructions" on the case, you'll miss a step. Thus the 4-star rating. Overall, it's a very good and sturdy tool. Handled the impact tool without issue. Also, owning this was much better than "borrowing" the loaner tool that you leave a deposit for at the local parts dealer, only to find out that it's beat up and worn or missing a part - if they even have it. Also, it's a great value. You can never have too many specialty tools. I'd recommend this one to anyone who asks.

The kit worked ok, but when trying to install or remove old Ball Joints in a Jeep JK the kit just didn't hold up. The main brace bent and several of the cups where damaged. But even though the kit didn't hold up, the money you save from paying someone to do these made the price of the kit (even just for one use) worth it.

It made life a lot easier replacing the ball joints in my 88 Ford F-150.

Works fine but not enough attachments for getting the job done for all sizes. Would not recommend for a Jeep.

I'm very happy with my purchase. The tool is extremely durable and works extremely well! I'm extremely pleased with the purchase I made.

Work for me and lots of different adapter, look and feel heavy duty

Me gusto mucho el precio, viene en su estuche para un mejor almacenamiento, el metal de la prensa es de alta calidad, estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra

My first two projects were replacing Ujoints. The next project was 1/2ton truck Ball Joints. This tool made the job easy.A word of advice use a little bit of grease on the threads.The only real con is the case is a little crappy.

Estoy muy satisfecho con todo; el producto llego el día que prometía, y en perfecto estado.En cuanto a la herramienta: Ya la utilicé y es todo lo que promete. Pude sacar las rotulas de un Sentra rapidísimo y sin ningun problema. Me será muy útil en los trabajos que me lleguen ahora en adelante.

Económica y fasil de usar y muy resistente
