Well I had to use it to get them out of the forged lower arms. I also bent the ball joint press as well as galled the threads.Skylark, What's the deal with using the jack handle to turn the screw on the ball joint press? I've done my lowers and I did not have that difficult of a time getting the old ones out.
Mine is a classic. It is the red brick Snap On MT2500. I have just about every adapter ever made for it and I have the newest cartridges as well but it is out dated. One of the biggest problems is operator error. I don't do this day in and day out so I don't recall what sensor values are good and what aren't. Recently I knew something was wrong with a parts truck that I had bought I had search what I thought was all over looking for a vacuum leak. I posted the data here and asked for help. A member here knew by looking at my data that I had a vacuum leak (Thanks SAATR!). Somehow even with the manifold off I missed a hole in the plastic intake. Truthfully I thought that I had verified a bad intake gasket and didn't really look over the intake other than the gasket surface. Good tools don't mean a thing without the knowledge to use them! Otherwise I like it for the 400 series. Truthfully, if I had to buy one today I would most likely look at a nice used Snap On Solus Pro. A buddy of mine has one and I really liked the interface.hey what scanner do you have? How do you like it? im looking to get a higher end scan tool.

I drive them out with the air hammer and press them back it with the vehicle weight.
Air hammer you just keep working your way around until it drops out. Going back in I put a jack under the ball joint, jack it up until the suspension is compressed a little bit and then a little tapping with a 5 lb-er on the control arm slides it right in. In the shop, we used to put a stand under the ball joint and just lower the lift. Same-same.
