I need a ball joint press

[Phil]

Yo, any one have a ball joint press in the Sacramento area I could borrow? I have some sloppy ball joints and I would like to replace them before the snow run in two weeks. I think the day I'm going to be able to do the swap is Monday the 8th, so I could grab it before and bring it back after if neccesary.

Thanks. Phil

If you are going to be down around San Jose, I can loan you one for a bit.

If you want to buy one, you can probably still get an OTC for about $80 from ToolTopia.com - it's where I got mine. Don't bother with the Harbour Freight - in the time it took me to bend the HF, I changed all four ball joints with the OTC...

I think you can get one from Auto zone and return it, I did that with a puller the guy working there said as he sold it to me "Please make sure you don't get greese on the paper work if you are going to bring this back for a fulll refund"

I got one in SJ too

If you want I will have it with me on the snow run, (I always take my press on the trail) you can swap them out friday night? If you can drive up there with the slop, you can swap them out in that garage?

Never know when you will need one, always make sure you press in your axle studs:

Yeah ball joint press is $99 i believe. Guy there said i could use that to press the new ujoints in but i didnt have the $99. Full refund as long as you dont break.

Sounds like borrowing one from a parts store will be easiest but if for some reason you can't find one I have a HF one you are welcome to bend or use or both.

I don't want to - or really have time to - deal with this shit. I got cash if someone wants to fix my junk for me. One side needs ball joints, may as well do the other side. I'm in Davis, Sacramento area preferred.

You are welcome to use mine. It’s a good one but you would have to come get it. Let me know if you want it.

Hey I got one of those things in Letterman's pic. Let me know if you want to pic it up some time or I can just leave it in my side yard if we won't be home.
