This equipment made the removal process very easy. Very happy with tool overall.
I would recommend this tool (new) to others.
To use this tool properly:
1) Lubricate the handle bolt's threads AND the tip where it meets the other side of the tool. Don't scrimp here, use plenty and especially pack it into the little ball's cavity in the end of the bolt. I used molybdenum bearing & u-joint grease; worked great.
2) BE CAREFUL! Wear safety glasses. Take all reasonable safety precautions. Remove fragile things from the area.
3) Thread castle nut onto the joint stud until the stud is about 99% through the nut.
***This is to protect the threads of the stud from damage. And it gives a flat, broad area to press against instead of the rounded, small stud.***
4) Mount the tool onto the joint and thumb tighten. Align so that the single finger is on top of the castle nut. Be patient, it can take a few tries to get the tool set right so it doesn't slip or pop off when tightening with wrench.
5) Tighten the tool. How tight is different for each joint; it takes experimentation and experience.
***Do not attempt to tighten the tool until it moves. This is where I think most breakages happen.***
6) Tap the top of the single finger pressing on the castle nut with a hammer or small sledge.
***If the joint doesn't move repeat steps 5 & 6. It will move eventually.***
Remember:
The forces involved can be quite large. Steel can become very springy and energetic. Be careful. Take your time.
Large format ball joints like lower control arms and such…. There are better tools than this that will make the job easy.
