Astro Pneumatic Tool7865 Ball Joint Service Tool with 4-wheel Drive Adapters

Worked well actually got away with using only a 12” crescent took all I got after the first to get the second on. If you have the proper tools to modify the receiver tubing and shorten it you will have zero issue removing and installing the upper ball joint from the arm. Making it properly flush as strong of steel would be my only worry but with a proper breaker bar and some extra leverage you can go it no need to dis assemble the entire hub unless you want to inspect it all anyway. Quality product if you take your time and dis agree with power tools and quality work unless you are a seasoned mechanic. If you took the time to read this, I promise it’s worth the money saved vs. 280 I was going to spend for a universal kit with smaller reviver cups. Thanks be safe jack stands are cool!!!

I used this for pressing Axle U-joints in and out on my Jeep JK. I used it with my impact wrench and it worked perfectly without requiring a torch.

Works perfect for 2000 7.3 f250 4x4 balls joints. Had no issues at all. Purchased this and the adapter kit for it.

I haven't use the tool yet, but it seems to be a good quality. I liked better than the onebi borrow on the past from aurzone.

I am ALL about quality. I drive a Ford Ranger still going strong at 212,000 miles. That's QUALITY. I don't like cheap garbage. This kit was absolutely PHENOMENAL. There was ABSOLUTELY ZERO GIVE and I was blasting away at these ball joints with this kit for a couple of minutes STRAIGHT. NO BREAKS. And my impact is NO JOKE. It popped right out. NO BEND AT ALL IN THE THREADS AND THEN I BLASTED MY RUGGED DUTY BALL JOINT IN WITH NO BREAK AND NO LUBE. IMMEDIATE INSERTION. FOR ONLY THIRTY DOLLARS MORE THAN THE CHEAP GARBAGE COMPETITION MADE IN A COUNTRY I WILL NOT NAME. IF YOU ARE REPLACING BALL JOINTS USE THIS KIT MY FELLOW AMERICANS.

The kit works well the clamp is nice and heavy. However I wouldn't recommend trying to pull ball joints off a HD truck/vehicle with this set.

Im quite happy with my selection. It's well built and the case is great for keeping everything organized. Couldnt ask for more.

Good quality. Holds up to impact wrench, but DID NOT work on the lower ball joints on my 1999 F250 Super Duty 4x4. I’m not blaming Astro Pneumatics, but an application guide would be helpful.I spent over an hour trying to figure out if this basic kit would work on my 1999 F250 Super Duty 4x4. OTC has a really helpful web site with their part numbers for certain applications. I tried to compare the OTC part numbers to the sizes in this Astro Pneumatics kit. No Joy. I could get the lower ball joints out by cutting the stud with a cutoff disc. When I tried to install the new ones, there was just not a combination of adapters that worked. I ended up ordering the Astro Pneumatics 7868 Master Ball Joint Adapter Set. It had the adapter that worked, but I ordered the whole set for one part. (See the picture) If you have scrap pipe around, you might be able to make the part. I didn’t have any material that worked.If you are attacking a Ford F250 or similar, I’d recommend one of the large size presses (i.e. 9” vs the 6” one in these kits.) With the larger press, you get more latitude with the fit of the adapters.

Herramienta práctica y manual para cambiar rotulas. Se puede hacer el cambio in situsi el espacio lo permite. Recomiendo.

Das Werkzeug hat eine gute Qualität, für Chinawerkzeug.Preisleistung soweit gut, aber an der Grenze

I needed to replace the differential-side u-joint on the rear driveshaft of my Jeep Liberty. I watched a few videos of people banging and pounding on the caps with sockets and hammers to remove the old joints and install the new ones. I then watched a video of somebody using a tool like this to do the job effortlessly, and knew which approach I wanted to take. This kit isn't the cheapest, but it's built like a tank, and did the job perfectly. The amount of time and effort it saved me is easily worth the asking price, not to mention I can use it for a variety of other suspension-related jobs.

On a jeep jk dana 30 i had to use a grinder to modify one of the cups to allow a flush fit for the upper ball joint to be pressed in. Its easy enough to do just a heads up.

I used this on a 1st gen Toyota Tundra upper ball joint. I made my own press cups from some 2" I.D pipe and 1.5" O.D pipe. I could only us the c-press and two adapter discs from the kit, I was ready for this, I mainly only needed the c-press. I modified one of the adapter discs with my grinder so it would hold the 2" I.D pipe and a notch to fit around the spindle on the truck. Once I had it setup it pushed both ball joints out with ease and I used the c-press to install some ball joint adapters that came with some aftermarket UCA's. This press looked the best quality without spending a lot more on an OTC version.
