Review on 🔧 Efficient Subaru Ball Joint Puller: Astro Pneumatic Tool 78620 by Ben Walls

I have a 2001 Subaru Legacy GT and have decided to replace the lower ball joints. This tool made it much easier to remove the old ball joints (using a fork to pickle the ball joints). The only thing to note is when you jack up the car you have to jack the car up pretty high to get both the tool and the stun gun (Milwaukee Snubnose Fuel in my case) or it won't do the trick. Place. Unfortunately I have a pretty low jack and couldn't get it as high as I wanted, but I still managed to get it working. Connecting tab with bottom ball joint so it doesn't bind and break like others have reported. Additional Lower Ball Joint Removal Tips: Apply a liberal amount of PB Blaster to the stud and lower ball joint and allow sufficient time. Then use a heat gun and heat both joints on high. Screw and the lever itself to break up the rust that forms on these parts and prevent it from escaping (be careful not to melt the outer axle boot from the heat). Then, in preparation for re-installation, clean the hole it will go into with a brake parts cleaner, remove rust in the hole with a Dremel point grinder, then apply anti-seize compound to the bolt, hole, linkage and over the threads Ball hinge to keep it from rusting in the future. Also, be careful when tightening and reduce the torque on the screw and forearm by about 10-20% due to the use of grease to prevent the screw from over tightening and breaking (my machine is designed for the screw with 37 ftlbs and 33 ftlbs for the screw). the slotted nuts). I also strongly recommend buying a new bolt and lock washer with a new castle nut and code pin. Eventually, the tool may get stuck in the removed lower ball joint. So, if necessary, prepare to unscrew it with a vise. Much luck.
