This 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

1. Be sure to lubricate the threads of the clamp and the serrations of the ball joint before installation.
2. We recommend using hand tools, not power tools, for this installation.

Pro tip: You'll need a C-clamp press to operate it (not included), but it's a practical and affordable alternative to the original VW press tool.
