Get this -
3/4" Forged Ball Joint Separator
You dont need anything else ever again for tierods/balljoints/ etc in suspension, remove the nut put this bad boy on, just grease the bolt threads and put an impact gun to it.
Comes off/out in 5 sec. |
This tool cannot remove the wheel suspension joint. According to TIS, there is a special tool to be used to remove this ball joint, but I don't know where I can buy it. Anyone know where I can get the speical tool?
