[QUOTE="Brett Stoner, post: 1014394, member: 71766"] Rent the tools. You have 90 days. You basically buy the loaner tools then return them when you are done and get your money back. For the minimal times you do ball joints I can't see it being cost effective. I think I typically do ball joints one time for each vehicle I own around 100k. I can't remember exactly what collars I used but all the different size collars come with the press. Also don't forget a pickle fork. I used my air one to pop the tie rods and the top ball joint. It was pretty straight forward job. I did upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, wheel bearings, sway bar bushings and end links, and control arms/bushings. Front end drives nice and tight now. [/QUOTE]
