OMC and I am sure others make a ball joint press. This is a heavy duty
C-clamp with different sized plates and press fittings. I took a new
bushing and was lucky enough to find a piece of metal very close to this
diameter. A buddy turned it down a bit in his lathe. Use this to remove
and install bushings, works great.
With out this addapter, the ball joint press will remove the inner steel and
rubber portion in a couple of seconds. Can then use the sharp hacksaw or
sawzall method of cutting the outer sleave. Hammer and punch removed these.
