Meant OTC.  Part no. 7249.
See page 2 of this pdf.
www.otctools.com/brochures/233-1.pdf
They have a smaller version, 7248 that is designed for ujoints.
Company has some great products if you can find em.

The ball joint is a 12 inch c-clamp.  The base is open, it's larger then the
bushings.  As you tighten the clamp, it pushes the clamp out through the
base.  The thing comes with a number of different size cups that fit over
the base and a couple of flat plates.  Again, its for installing balljoints.
I picked mine up years ago through my snap-on dealer.
OTC makes a bunch of automotive-specific tools.
Autozone, carquest, napa carry some of there stuff.
I have a socket that is the exact size of the bushing.  But if you have
access to a lathe can get something made up simply.  This helps for pressing
out.  For pressing in, the plane tool works.
The thing is very heavy and hvy duty.  The screw mechanism is a 7/8 hex
head, so you can run the thing with an impact gun and not by hand.
zip-zip-zip..bushing changed.

Pete
