Front End Tools
ok, here for to long i will need to be switching out ball joints on the 97. Ive been thinking about buying a OTC ball joint tool. Looks like a beefed up c-clamp. does anybody have one or has used one and who could tell me if they are worth the money?. last ones i did i took to napa and used a big hyd. press to remove and install. i wont be able to have tha much down time for the truck so thats why i was sorta interested. when i bought the truck a almost a year ago, the ball joints were replaced probably about a year before that.. with MOOG ( sp?) balljoints. the bottom were greasable and the tops wern't . it was too late to add a greaserk they had a tid bit of slop in them. Well the last time i had the truck in the air i checked them out. there getting bad. so if anybody has some info on them and or experience with them could you let me know?
thanks,
kyle

absolutly, that vould be very dangerous. i used one to take out the rollers on the brake spider on semi trailers. them things like to freeze up in the bushings all the time. The one i was using was an OTC and i tell you what, ihave a matco 1749 1/2 impact and was using it to push them out. That dang tool was bowing pretty bad. I stopped before i hurt myself. After that it became Torch Time
