Ball Joint Tool kit

[foamypirate]

Anybody got some good recommendations for a ball joint press kit that won't break the bank, but also isn't Harbor Freight type junk? I need to remove the ball joints from my LCAs so I can get them ready for powder coating. I wouldn't be opposed to some homemade ghetto fab to get them out either, since I won't be reusing them, so let me know if you have any methods for getting out (BFH? ).

Rent them for free from O'Reilly. You out down a deposit and get it back after. Worked on my '87 V10.

All I can recommend is a BFH, lol.

Good idea to rent one though from a local store.

Dont be scared of the astro brand, i have lots of specialty type tools with that brand and they have worked fine for me for occasional use aswell as when I was still turning wrenches fulltime.

Those are great for u-joints too.
