Ball joint press
Where are y'all getting ball joint presses big enough for our trucks. I'd really prefer to just rent one but I can't seem to find one that works.

I bought mine from Advanced Auto. It is the big kit. Hold on and I'll go get the number off of it.

It's a Powerbuilt 23 pc. ball joint and u-joint service set model #648617. Kit #46. You can rent them, but I just bought mine. It was $159 I think.

Hmm. I tried that one but couldn't get it to fit. Maybe I was using the wrong adapter or configuring it wrong or somethihng.
