Your cart is empty.Installing a ball joint on a lower control arm typically requires the effort of two people. However, with this tool and our No. 7420 or 7421 pry bar - or any 7/8" diameter pry bar - it's a one-person job.

Worth the extra cost - have already used it changing both axles on 04 Corolla and 10 Sienna. Makes separation / installation of ball joint much easier. Use it with a long pry bar and your knee.

This is tough as nails. When I got it I couldn't quite figure it out. I knew I would need a pry bar but it didn't come with instructions. The first attempt at using it, the technical mind kicked in immediately and it was simple and effective. Get a long pry bar, strong rod or pipe at least 1.5 times the length of the lower control arm.Instructions:1. Remove ball joint nut (or slacken if you don't have space) and free up ball joint stud from steering knuckle by your regular method.2. Hang the hook on the lower control arm (the hole should be below. the side you choose will depend on the shape of the arm to gain more leverage but it will work on either side if you complete the 3rd step properly).3. Pass your pry bar (or any strong bar/pipe) through the hole.4. Ensure the other end of the pry bar connects properly with the inned part of the lower control arm, so it won't slip.5. Pry downward on the handle of pry bar until the ball joint stud is out of the steering knuckle.. (If there was not enough space to remove the ball joint nut before, back it off, all the way at this step, until you can push the control arm down enough.)6. Pull/push steering knuckle away from ball joint while maintaining a downward force on the pry bar.When reinstalling the arm to the steering knuckle, follow steps 2 to 5.It's a one-man job and there's no more slipping!I was going to buy the other tool that's very long and many times more expensive but I decided to try this first.Buy it!

I have a 5' long 1.5" square prynar that barely fits into the loop on this thing and I have had my bar flexing removing ball joints from stubborn cars (pinch bolt style ball joints in new England that are rusted together even with lubrication and a chisel to spread the joint slightly). This tool held together and got the job done. I've used this tool about 15 times so far and it just works. Great leverage keeping the tension inline with the ball joints stud. Even stubborn joints take a little pressure and some light tapping from a mallet on the control arm and they pop right out. Where was this tool years ago? Glad it's in my toolbox now!

This tool is the best. Fits most control arms. I already lost it sadly but It was good to me.

Sometimes a very very simple yet subtly elegant solution to a common problem presents itself, and you look at that solution and think it could never work. With this one you'd be dead wrong.Everyone that works in my field has this issue. Where the hell do I put this damn prybar to get this (strut, ball joint, axle) out of this thing when I can't pry down on it anywhere? GrrrrrrThis works. And it's so simple and strong too. The straight end just sits on the lower arm just behind or in front of the ball joint, you pass your bar through the loop. That's it. That's really it in not kidding.Note: this will fit the gihugeic colossal prybar thing that Mayhew makes I think it's called the dominator or something. It fits.It's cheap, good brand, works.Why are you still reading your fool hit buy now already sheesh

I use it all the time in shop. 4ft pry bar w/helper gets most everything loose. Another great buy if you change lower control arms.

Strong material but you still have to apply some WD40 or degreaser or rust penetration for the best result.Overall I’m happy with this item.
