Anyone ever use the Balljoint Press tool from Autozone? I just ordered some SPC Adj. Balljoints and need to take off the stock balljoints and press on the new ones. Just to clearify, i need to press the new balljoints onto my upper A-Arms, and wanted to see if the Autozone tool actually works. Anyone have experience with it?

Actually, all you need to do is press the old ones out - the new ones just bolt on.

I've used one, they work okay. Have someone on hand to help, it takes about 4 hands to do it - lots of loose pieces & adapters.

 

Pressing out balljoints has never worked for me, I always result to using a BFH with the spacers provided by the AutoZone press. They allow me to pound away and not mess up the old balljoint (although it usually doesn't matter since the ones I remove get tossed, why else would one remove a balljoint?). But anyways, renting is better than spending the $ to buy your own unless you remove balljoints on a regular basis.
