Review on Efficiently Tackle Ball Joint Repairs with Astro Pneumatic Tool 7897 Service Tool and Adapter Set by Jerry Delic

Very good set with lots of cups. I used it on the lower ball joints of a Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 03, RWD (2WD). I didn't use the C-clip that came with it, but it would probably work. Instead I bought an OTC 6736 C-Clip (much wider bore) and matching OTC 6730 C-Clip adapters and then used the cups from that kit. By the way, this kit includes all four cups from the Dodge/Jeep OTC 7894, so don't buy it thinking you'll have more coverage. Why only 4 stars - well not really a problem with this kit or any other (more of a Dodge problem) but the kit didn't work for me without the following modification. The 03 DR 1500 bottom ball joints leave almost no room outside of the factory ball joint lip for any shells to use for die cutting, so I used a Dremel metal cutter (EZ406-02) to cut 3 or 4 half slices off the old factory edge of the ball joint at the bottom on the outer edge. I then used the middle row, second cup from the right in the picture (#14 on the list provided) to sit on the newly accessible ledge on the outside, and on the inside it was supported by a steel bar that held 4 rivets on it. on the truck ball joint bracket on the lower control arm. It was slightly skewed and didn't have a pressure point at the very front/back of the lower wishbone, but just pushed straight out! Squeezing the Moog K7411 was easy thanks to the included cups.
