This helpful tool uses a forcing-screw press to safely remove and replace u-joints, brake anchor pins, and ball joints on most cars and light trucks with press-fit type ball joints. Removes and installs automotive universal joints with needle bearings, including GM plastic pin CV U-joints either on or off the vehicle on most cars and light trucks. It will help the user remove and install ball joints without the need to remove the control arm from the vehicle and is designed for use on most cars and light trucks that have press-fit type ball joints.

For GM Family II & III (C-Series) the tool is placed over the stud and hub, with its receiver around the shoulder of the stud. Its forcing screw is then tightened against the end of the stud to remove it from the rotor and hub. The wheel studs must be replaced in order to replace the brake rotor or hub.
