DAYUAN YT1040 Ball Joint Press & U Joint Removal Tool Kit with 4x4 Adapters for Most 2WD and 4WD Cars and Light Trucks,red

Really good heavy duty bit of kit. Had a really stubborn Land Rover axle with ball joints to remove.This held an inch drive beaker bar with scaffold bar on. Tool just worked.

For the price this is a good home mechanic investment, I didn't use it to extract the ball joint and would probably fall back on brute force/big hammer/heat where necessary but pressing in a new part with the receiver cleaned up was easy.

I purchased this tool with slight scepticism about its ability to do the job of a garage hydraulic press for removal / installation on my 18 yr old original ball joints. Gladly I can report it stood up to the task , however my advice is to have a second pair of hands as it’s a bit of a balance act with the cups right at the start. It’s a substantial build and quite heavy but would recommend to save the garage costs.

Used this to remove and fit lower ball joints on my car. I also used this to compress the brake piston when putting the brakes back on, which although I'm not sure it was designed for, it did the job perfectly.Build quality is great, using it is a bit knacky, but once you work out which of the various bits that comes with it you need for a particular job you'll have no trouble.Pro tip: if you're struggling to remove a ball joint with this, put the nut back on the ball joint and then use this. You can also use a large socket to push on the ball joint. This will make sense when you have it in front of you. This isn't a fault with the press, it's just that not all ball joints are the same so you sometimes need to work around issues with things not quite fitting right. The tool itself did the job on the old ball joints without a workaround, but when I needed to pop the new one out again I needed to use these workarounds to do it.

did the job effortlessly combined with my milwaukee impact wrench, well worth the money

I used this to remove the front ball joints on a Mercedes 312D sprinter 1998 model although I had to cut the ball joint stem off to fit the supplied bushes over one I had sorted it out there was enough power in this ball joint separator To remove that ball joint which are notoriously stubborn. Yeah although it did flex slightly it still managed to do the job and is still good to do other jobs

It does the job but not the best build quality. One of the mounting bolt’s hadn’t been tapped. Apart from that it works well

Well made
