Great Tool for Control Arms

OTC Control Arm S Hook makes easy work

[bluebird]

Dude, you hammered the shit out of that control arm prior 😂😂😂

[thomascurl]

How would the boss know I’m working if he doesn’t hear me beating the shit out of parts?

[sergiomarki]

I'v been doing suspension works for 30 years, and your tool would have save me a lot of pain.
Not complaining, just talking.
Thanks for the video.

Calm down everyone, this good man just shows to us how easy to deal with control arm using this S-tool
Of course ball joint was previously separated.😊

I have one of these, it's a handy and cheap tool that just works. I only do bits and pieces on my own cars, but little tools like this are so useful. Should have bought one years ago.

It’s so clean, no rust. Is that mechanic heaven?

[jonathanbarr]

I like how there’s literally no rust. Dude where I’m at that ball joint is getting replaced bc I’m about to fuck it up.

[garysgarage]

I have one and it was one of the best things I’ve bought. I use a piece of 2X4 between the end of pry bar and control arm.

[NicholasWeisner]

I got one of those from an action recently in a bucket of bolts and never knew what it was, now I do thank you!

[billbeckett]

I have one of those and I wish I bought one a lot sooner! So simple and easy to use. Best of all it works!

[zachariahx]

Everybody say in it went work where they from. It might not but its a pretty smart way to gain a little leverage or to create a leverage pint wherever you need it. Thanks for the tip

[Heckno]

Lol ya good to know that’s what it looks like with a brand new ball joint

[richardahola]

Nice simple tool. Worth a try. Lived in Detroit fifty years. Rust made everything hard.

[Think__yourself_plz]

This is genius. Getting a few different sizes for the box now. Thanks for the video

[gimmesomethingtobelievein]

That only works on new ball joint! I’ve literally had 20 ton press and beating with a 12lb sledge. Rust is a serious equalizer

[Averna]

So many people seem to be confused what this is for. It's not for breaking the taper of the ball joint. It's for when the taper is already broken free and you just need more leverage to pull the stud all the way out.

How I did it - after loosening lower ball joint w heavy hammer onto knuckle, lean over control arm and push down with both arms putting your weight into it (car on jack stands). If it doesn’t lower enough, twist ball joint out of the way with one arm while pressing down with the other.

[stormer]

I use a chain with a hook. That way I can adjust the size 😊

[deeeyewhy]

I have one and it’s way better than just using a pry bar. Also another tool I got with it is one of those inner tie rod sockets with the swinging clamp that had a half inch drive on it that you slip on the toe rod and then swing the arm into the hole and it takes the tie rod right off. Just use it the other direction for installation. Might be too small for some bigger tie rods but it’s super usefull and I think it was $10

A 8 inch peice of chain has worked for me for the last 22 years.
