Press kit for upper ball joint? (16 Viewers)

[toyotawave]

I looked through the forums and couldn't find what I was looking for. Basically I'm looking to find the cheapest press kit I can get to replace my UBJ. I checked Harbor Freight for a kit and this was in my budget. My only issue is that I'm not even sure if this will be the correct sizes for my UBJ. I have an 00' LC, thanks in advance to anyone that can let me know at least what kit they used themselves for this job.

That kit looks like the one I used, only with more pipes. I had to make my own adaptor-pipe from an old steel water pipe.

do your local parts stores offer loaner tools?

That is the exact kit that I have and used for my upper and lower ball joints. When replacing either, it’s a good idea to pull the dust boot and replace after installation. This will also allow you to press on the lip of the ball joint better, as the boot covers a portion of it.
