This lower ball joint press tool makes removing and installing lower ball joints simple and efficient.

Removing and installing lower ball joints on a Vanagon is notoriously one of the toughest jobs out there - even seasoned techs dread it. VW designed a special, overly complex press tool set for the task, but finding one and using it is impractical for most home mechanics. So, we engineered an affordable, easy-to-use alternative that delivers professional results without the hassle. With this tool, you can finally tackle the job yourself. No special factory equipment required.

Model/Years: Works on all 68-79 Bus and 1980-91 Vanagon models, including Syncro

Lower Ball Joint tool

Could only rate this tool as three because I totally destroyed this tool to the point it was unusable to press out the second side. To be fair I also destroyed other tools in the process. Have 3 different ball joint tool sets and some I made, additionally did not use a ratchet power tool only manual tool. Also have a 12-ton press that could not break these free from the spindle. I soaked in penetrating oil, used heat, placed ball joint in the freezer and broke my tools. After removal the process to get these in was a struggle and almost brought to machine shop to press these ball joints into the spindle. These have been the most difficult ball joints I ever pressed in. So glad it's done! R/Jeff

Worked well. Could stand to have an adapter to drive the ball joint out. Had to use an impact socket.
