Ball Joint Service Kit
I want to give it a go and try to replace the ball joints on my 1995 f-150 4x4. Will this tool work for my application?

Looks like the one I used to do mine, though mine was from Princess Auto. Likely just different packaging.
Be careful when using it though, you can bend the the press if you apply too much pressure. When doing the ball joints if it gets really hard to turn, smack the end of the threaded rod. A good smack usually is enough to knock the ball joint loose.
I used the same tool for my u-joints too, works wonders compared to the socket method.

That's what I did too. I did my ball joints recently. I recommend Moog they are high quality.

Thanks for the advice. I was looking at Moog, good to know they are recommended. I am also thinking that buying the C-clamp press might be handy for other applications as well (for example, wheel bearings, wheel students, maybe for removing the bushings in the rear leaf springs). I have a bunch of work to do.
