OEMTOOLS 25104 21-Piece Master Ball Joint Press Kit for 2WD & 4WD Vehicles

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.

Worked perfectly

To get this out of the way first it only gets 4 stars due to a mess of shipping this to me and it needing to be reshipped, so I waited quite a long time for this to show up. Other than that, the kit impresses me. I replaced ram 2500 ball joints with this and it survived one heck of an abusive removal/install process. The process involved putting as much pressure as I could on it and then smacking the c clamp or the knuckle, any the only real problems was one of the small cups got a dent in it and I lost some green paint on the c clamp. The quality is good and the selection of cups is great. I’m super happy with this tool and I’m happy to have this heavy case in my tool box.

Used on a 1998 ford ranger!! Worked perfect for removal and install in lower ball joints!

Bought this so I could replace ball joints on my Honda Civic. It's easy to use just kind of a pain to keep the tool and cups aligned. Make sure your cups are in the correct spot over the ball joint so you do not damage the boot or joint itself!

To be honest I expected more for what I paid. Lots of different sizes which is great. Nice case, make sure to draw arrows facing up. First time I opened it upside down and had to figure out where everything went. I got about halfway through a front end rebuild and said nah, It’s going back. For ball joints it’s ok for bushings don’t get this. Problems 1. It’s too short. Not enough space between the clamp only 6in. I had to rig it up with in a weird way just to get it to fit most of the time. 2. Ball baring and end slid right out of the screw shaft. (See picture) After first use they fell out. I tried without it and it really does help having it. It was annoying picking them up off the ground. 3. One of the press is no longer circle it’s an oval. (See picture) I noticed that after pressing, that’s a little alarming and quite annoying. I’d rather pay half the price for a kit that has the same issues.

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!

Easy to use good value .
