I am rebuilding the front suspension and would like to know if someone has a ball joint tool that they can part with - sell/trade/loan. I usually love the opportunity to buy tools, but I think that I would only use this tool twice to install the 2 new ball joints.

Dave Hunt just made one recently from a 2" dia pipe fitting. Search for his recent recent thread under DNHunt.

Here is the link:

I think the ball joints on my 1970 were original. It took a torch and serious BFH to get the nut free. I'm sure I would have snapped that flimsy little tool.

I was quite impressed with the "pipe wrench" tool pic that was posted recently. That was damned cool.

I need one in about 2 weeks.

I'm thinking that this tool would work great using a 1/2" impact wrench.

I have been using an impact wrench and a butterfly style wrench the past few days and have been impressed on how much easier each job is with these tools.

I did manage to shatter a 30mm socket yesterday. 2 pieces flew off in different directions. A little scary - I now wear safety glasses each time that I use the impact wrench. Those damn castle nuts are a PITA!!!

It was not an impact socket. I know that I shouldn't have done that but...

I thought that I was likely to crack the socket but I really didn't think that it would bust apart and send pieces flying.

One of those live and learn moments. and fortunately nothing really bad happened.

Tell you what Doug, if you really want to borrow the tool, email or PM Eric Shea (he might even see this post and reply). If he can be done with it and ship it to you in time for you to get your work done, you're welcome to use it. Then you'll have to ship it back to me.

After you guys work it out, let me know what's going to happen.

The one I use takes a 1/2 inch drive air gun. I dont think I have ever used one with a breaker bar.. always the air.

So Doug, I never heard back. Sounds like Eric is done with the ball joint tool and has shipped it back to me. Do you still need to borrow one?

Yup... I shipped it back before I saw your first reply. You should have it Friday or Saturday. Might want to open it before shipping it out again... there's a Christmas present for you in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Gint,

Thanks for the offer to borrow the tool. But, I decided to buy one.

I was ordering CV's and related stuff from Paragon and just went ahead and bought the ball joint tool also.

More tools (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Eric, It came in Saturday. Thanks for the beer money, but you really didn't have to do that.

You really didn't have to be so generous as to send your tools across state lines. Drink up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
