5speedz34 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I've been looking for one of these for years!!!! It's basically brand new! Makes removing ball joints so much easier, anyways onto the pics. I did have to go to the post office to pick it up since my carrier sucks. Shipped here for $47.00 retails for over $100. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/5speedz34/Kent-Moore%20J-35917/J-35917_1.jpg[/img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/5speedz34/Kent-Moore%20J-35917/J-35917_2.jpg[/img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/5speedz34/Kent-Moore%20J-35917/J-35917_3.jpg[/img] At the bottom of the stud there is a little ball point that sits right onto the bottom of the ball joint.

3pt1lumina Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 You suck, but good find! I've yet to need one but I'm sure at some point I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 You suck, but good find! I've yet to need one but I'm sure at some point I will. All the balljoints are good on my W but I figure at some point I could use it. Especially, since you can reuse balljoints after using this tool.

5speedz34 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I don't have a sledge that big, but I don't care to destroy balljoints if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I have an aftermarket version of this for about 1/3 cost, but yeah, makes life easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have an aftermarket version of this for about 1/3 cost, but yeah, makes life easier. Does it fit as well? Is it made to be put on an impact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you pull the boot up with a screwdriver and slide a pickle fork in between the boot and the control arm, you can split them without damaging them. A couple good whacks with a 32oz ballpein is all it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I dunno about ya but my man-o-hammer and prybar seperates balljoints great and doesnt damage boots. Of course when i dont care about balljoint boot damage, air hammer and picklefork attachment makes quick work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89GP_SE Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 pry bar in one hand putting pressure down on the control arm and a RBFH usually gets the job done. Or my other method is using two hammers and hitting where the ball joint stud goes into, and sandwich hitting it will do it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it made to be put on an impact? It's more of a universal fit, but yes, an impact will fit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Cool, I have one of those too, it sure makes things a LOT easier! I bought mine on eBay, don't remember how much I paid though. I have the Kent-Moore rear leaf compressor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
