I need to replace a lower ball joint in my '86 F150. It's a 2wd and I know how to do it... I just don't know what tool I need. Harbor Freight has at least three different sets of adapters.

There is this one: (doesn't say what it works with)

And this one...again doesn't say
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=4065

again..

one more.

Which one do I need? Obviously one of the first two because it's got the c-clamp...but do either of the first two come with the right adapters for what I'm doing?:icon_confused:
 
the first one is your very basic set,the second one has a few more adapters. The third one is an add on adapter set. Mine persoanlly looks like a dang briefcase and cost almost $400, but for someone who only uses it a few times in thier life I guess they'd work fine. Hope you have a good impact gun to turn the screw, I hate doing that by hand.
 
Yeah, I have every tool at my disposal except the press. So you think one of the first two will work and have the right adapters?
 
Sweet. Thanks!
 
Nope...lol... just received the press in the mail yesterday. My fricken B2 is taking up my spot in my shop too so I gotta finish that first...hopefully soon!
