Cheap ball joint socket

[franklinstower]

I have seen mentioned before there is a ford 4x4 hub bearing lock tool that also fits our Ball Joints for 1/10th the cost of the P210 tool.

Can someone confirm this is it?


Thanks

When I did my ball joints I bought a couple of those in slightly different sizes from a local 4x4 shop. They did not fit perfectly and I could not get them to stay in place as I applied any torque.

I used used my air hammer with a blunt tip. Hit one of the "teeth" of the nut at a 90 degree angle to the thread, and it spun right off with ease. Literately just seconds to get it off.

This one works: OEMTOOLS 25965 1/2 Inch 66.5 by 80mm Front Wheel Bearing Locknut Socket. Just did this job on my '71T. Jimmy makes great products and has outstanding service. I've used some of his, but didn't realize he made this socket.
