no,it is a prying tool designed for separating two objects namely ball joints.
1723076
no, it is just a pullermost ball joints i have put in get pulled in to place when you torq them downdont over tighten look up proper torq spec

Absolutely not. Ball joints are pressed in with specialty tools or with a hydraulic press.

This is not a ball joint press kit. This only helps separate the tapered shaft from the knuckle, not the joint from the arm.

No , the easiest way to install the ball joint is to take it to a place like Car Quest that has a machine shop and for around $15 they will press the old one out and press the new one in. Trust me you will save yourself a lot of work and headaches.

I suppose you could if you flipped it upside down. However I found it easier to just use a clamp.

No, but I guess you could adapt it to do that with a welder maybe. Or maybe you could get a longer shaft from the manufacturer

Yes. All you need is the adapter...try regular Allen wrench. The stock one is not too goodJOHN

I use an impact...but make sure you have the proper size pieces or "cups & saucers", as I call them before you begin with the air tools. Be especially observant as some OEM balljoints have hidden flanges on the bottom that are not on the replacement ball joints. Also, some ball joints are serrated and take some reasonable application of the tool to persuade the ball joint to pop out. Installation is just the reverse and much easier. I have been very satisfied with the tool and have used it several dozen times.

I'm A garage owner and this product is a supplement to a ball joint kit that I already own. I just needed more adapter options. As far as being specific for a certain car, no. When we are doing ball joint replacement ,you need all the adapter options that are possible. I'm sure something in this adapter kit will work if you already have the ball joint removal and installation tools. If you are unsure of your ability to do this take it to a professional. That's my input and I hope it helps.

Yes, unless you want to replace the bolt and nut with a clevis pin for faster removal.

I suppose you could. I took the one that wasn't aligning correctly out, placed a 1/2" piece of toothpick in the hole and re-installed. It torqued up nice and was even with the other two.

Yes you can remove the ball joint where the extension was connected. The ball joint was screwed by the inner hexagon shape size T25 (Torx Hexagon Wrench).

If you have a ball hitch on your ATV then it could be used. Great tool. It is better than I imagined.

I bought this for one project, I have used it I don't know how many times on other things that arnt ball joints. Take the time to full understand the job you need, and buy the tool that will make it easyest, don't worry about the "maybe later" jobs.

Yes, but you would need a hammer drill to pre drill holes then use an epoxy to set the bolts into.

It will replace the ball joints on that truck. You may have to buy a master adapter kit just in case these adapters don't work for that ball joint

I'm not sure how on your application but it seems to be very versatile. I used it on a Toyota pickup with large ball joints and it worked really well. It also worked on the tie rod ends. On a smaller car the only thing I would be worried about would be having enough clearance around the joint to get the tool on.

Haven't done it but went and looked at the instructions and yes, it can be used for jointing. has instructions on how to set it up.

The ball joint is a sealed unit without any grease fittings, so my answer would be yes, it would haveto be.

If you have the snap on bracket with the receptacle for the ball mount, you should be OK.............

This ball joint press is more than adequate to do F350 ball joints. You may need to another adapter to fit over ball joint. Look at 14 Piece Master Ball Joint Service Adapter Set in Case HTH
