Decent ball joint press

[Gordy1]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a decent ball joint press kit under $100. I need to replace ball joints on my 86 k10? It will probably be the last time I replaced them so I don't want to spend a ton of money

Just rented one from advance auto for $0. They gave me 45 days to return it but only needed it for a couple days.

I just ordered a large press for doing the new dodge axles, supposed to arriveMonday. It was just under 100 on ebay. The regular ones are around 50.

If you need it now the harbor freight press is good

I had just bought one some years back before we moved in '18.
Lost it, along with all the ball joints and u-joints for my front end.
Moving f'ing sucks!!!

You really want a ballpoint press. You can do the ball joints with the control armsbin place. Much quicker that way. @Gordy1 If you are taking the control arms off anyway a small hydraulic press will be much more useful.

Check ebay, I picked up a nice Matco kit for $85 + shipping.

Did another thorough search in the garage yesterday. Been going through boxes, cleaning and taking boxes to the dump. Getting it sorted and organized ever so slowly..
I'm sure it's gone now.
Looks like ill have to go with the 6.5 manifolds. What a pain in my balls...

Advance, O'Reilly's maybe others will rent them. I rented one at O'Reilly's. It was $145, returned it and got my money back. Zero cost.
I wouldn't buy one if I could rent it.

I've been happy with the harbor freight one. Works great for leaf spring bushings and u joints too.
