Best Tool to own in my opinion.....

PHOENIX · 05-20-2009, 01:21 AM

Seriously, I have used this more in the past 2 days than I have in my life and its made everything that much easier.....

2 Jaw Puller

Seriously....I have used this in the past 2 days too....

Pull my hubs off from the axle
Pull my rotors
Pull those extremely stubborn rubber bushings out of my suspension for replacement (so helpful!)
Pull those stuck ball joints (with the help of a pickle fork)

Then I helped my dad with his tractor and got his drums off

I love that thing. I spent a few extra dollars and got a nice one but it was well worth the money. My dad bought a 3 jaw one but it was a Napa special and I actually broke it today pulling on a rotor so spend a few extra dollars and get a nice one.

So if you do any kind of suspension work....go get one!

best tool would be a 2 post rotary lift

and followed by some nice air tools

What's a good brand. I could use a good one of those. I've broken two already

ive been using a snap on with a half inch air impact wrench and have had no issues. I really feel like I should have broke it by now. Snap on is ungodly expensive but sometimes worth it.

The best tool ever, is someone who knows what they are doing and has done it before, lol.

Agreed.

Those jaw pullers are awesome, especially for those stubborn crank pulleys.

ball joints? Bah, about 5 seconds with a hammer. Prop that bitch on a 2x4 and just WHACK! 2-3 hits later, it's freed!

I have always had issues w/ these pullers. Maybe I just suck at using them? On balljoint specifically I can never get it to stay on. I start tightering it down and then pop! it slips. Such a PITA.

So my tool = a big ****ing hammer
