Orion Motor Tech Ball Joint Press Kit, Heavy Duty Ball Joint Removal Tool Kit with 4x4 Adapters, for Most 2WD and 4WD Cars and Light Trucks

Worked well to remove ball joints and ujoints on my 97 ranger. Great kit that held up well for me. No issues and worth the buy.

This ball joint presses works just as expected for me. I have removed and installed universal joints as well as the ball joints on several different vehicles with ease and no issues. The press is easy to use. The materials used to manufacture is of high quality and everything fits perfectly as it should.

This works great and has held up to very high torque needed to remove some u-joints. My only complaint is the ball bearing under the driver head falls out. The driver falls out too and when it does the ball bearing drops out. Easy enough to drop back in place, but I've almost lost it a couple times. Magnetic ball would help a lot.

Heavy duty tool, well built and of good quality. Well worth getting!

They works great and good quality

Very good quality and made well. Arrived on time and in great shape. Made the job of replacing ball joints so much easier. Would definitely purchase again.

Was unsure ordering , this kit was nice . Just the weight of clamp and screw . Ive rented kits from auto parts stores they were always screwed up somehow. Great purchase for me .just did ball joints , will be doing u-joints soon .

I bought this ball joint service kit to replace the ball joints on my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD (I did the job in February 2018). The c-frame is a beast and I was pretty confident it would easily do the job. Once I got it on the truck, I was slightly less confident. Those ball joints are definitely in there. The kit is NOT a perfect fit for this exact application, it will be off-alignment at times. For me, the best results were had when I removed the lower ball joint first, an impact wrench makes it quite a bit easier and I think it is more effective at breaking the ball joint loose. Removing the upper ball joint required more creativity. It could not be done the "normal" way because the removal adapter is way too big in diameter to clear the inside of the axle and the curvature of the yoke-ear (i.e. it does not fit). Instead I had to run it "backwards" and put the screw onto the shaft of the ball joint, but that can only be done by passing the screw through the hole in the axle yoke of the lower ball-joint. I did the first upper ball joint with a large ratchet and it ended up pressing the shaft (king-pin) right up through the top of the joint assembly. In other words the force blew the shaft right through to the top of the ball joint (the upper ball joint on the '04 2500 is not actually a ball joint, it's a king pin). The shaft was removed at this point, but the ball joint body was still 100% installed in the axle (not good). This presented me with a new problem as the kit had no adapter I could use to press the upper ball joint out at this point. But I had a large metric socket that was shallow (i.e. not a deep socket) and it's diameter fit the ball joint perfectly, I was able to improvise and since the shaft of the ball joint was gone I was now able to use the socket as the removal adapter and press the ball joint body out of the axle (yay). For my second attempt on the other upper ball joint, I used the impact wrench and the job went a LOT smoother. The shaft of the joint did not explode through the top of the ball joint body, it did deform quit a bit, but the body of the ball joint released from the axle before the top of the body failed. The impact wrench made a big difference in my case. Installing the new joints went a LOT better than the removal. Again, I'll point out that for my exact application I had to carefully press the ball joints into the axle while the press was not square. It requires a little patience. To ensure I did not get the new joints wedged in a bad way, I had to press them in a little bit, check them, and realign the press as necessary so it would apply more force on a particular side to straighten it out. Once the ball joint was in deep enough this wasn't a problem, but the initial insertion required patience. This is because the kit does not have any adapters that align perfectly to this job. For those of you with the same generation Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins, live front axle, this kit will work, but it's not a perfect fit. All in all, it worked. The tool absolutely held up to the job. Oh, one more thing, be sure you lubricate the press-screw liberally, otherwise you will probably start to encounter some galling and that could end up ruining the press and worse, leaving you stuck with job partially done. The lubrication makes the press work a LOT better. I used Permatex Anti-Sieze Compound, which worked great.

ممتاز

Well packaged and good quality. Removed my ball joints in only a few minutes. Just make sure everything is squared up before putting pressure on. 1/2 inch drive sockets can be used if you can’t find exact cup to re install ball joints….

من النظرة الاولى تشعر بالقوة والمتانة ومع الامساك بالاداة (الزراجينة) وحجمها وثقلها تتأكد من الثقة والاعتمادية مع ملاحطة اني لم اجربها بعد😁 لكن الملاحظات بعد التجربة الصحيحة للمنتج تكون اصدق وافضل (العمل بمفتاج الشد اليدوي) وليس دريل الشد لتجنب الاضرار شكرا جزيلا للبائع👍

Very good quality tool! Have recommended to others in the trade a+++

It helped me remove ball joint from E90 BMW xdrive even though it is NOT adapted for it. I had to cut the ball joint ears and wiggle with it for a while , but it worked once it got a hold on the ball joint.
