I also posted this question in the general Superduty section, but would like to get your guys' opinion as well...
I'm trying to make sure I have ALL the necessary tools to complete my upper/lower ball joint replacement. Here is everything I think I will need:
-3 Jaw pullers for hub & sway bars:
4 Piece Three-Jaw Puller Set
-Ball joint press kit (Do I need a special Ford adapter for this particular kit?):
Four Wheel Drive Ball Joint Service Kit
Possibly this OTC adapter (Do I absolutely need this? I'd rather not spend an additional $60):
OTC Tools 6731 - OTC Ford Ball Joint Adapter Upgrade Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com
-Pickle forks:
Grip-On Tools 5-Pc. Pickle Fork Kit, Model# 21318 | Ball Joint, Bearing + Gear Repair | Northern Tool + Equipment
Out of the ordinary sockets:
-1/2 drive 33mm socket
- 1/2 drive 21mm socket
- 1/2 drive 13/16" socket (for ball joint press)
- 1/2 drive 1-1/8" socket
-Home made knuckle seal tool:
Ford Super Duty Knuckle Seal Tool - AKA OTC 6695 | Superdutypsd.com
-Beefy impact wrench. It's time for me to upgrade, and was hoping to find a good used one on ebay. Any suggestions (make/model #)?
Anything else?
