Removing Stuck Ball Joints from Polaris Sportsman, Ranger, Magnum, TrailBoss ATV's

We show you our trick new inexpensive tool to remove ball joints from the aluminum strut housing quickly and easily. There is really no way to easily remove the ball joints without a tool. This tool is by far the best on the market and is cheap and simple to use. Works on all Polaris ATV's and Rangers with the strut style front suspension

This tool worked like a charm. I have a 2005 sportsman 800 and I did the job with just dropping the a arm leaving the shock on the quad.

Heat the aluminum around the joint and use a slide hammer to pull out. Put new ball joints in freezer and heat aluminum again when putting joints back in

We've always used the heat and beat method some videos have them putting grease gun on the fitting I've never had one that that worked on this tool seams to eliminate that and it looks like it works easier than any of the other ways

Thanks.. but I made a similar tool using a threaded coupler a reducing bushing and a nut.. really cool tool. Is it patented?

[mattnetko]

Neat tool, what if you're replacing a broken one and the ball and shaft broke out?

I believe it was mentioned in an earlier comment but this tool would work better if the threads were a left hand thread. Backing off the inner section (which has a RH thread) tends to drag the ball joint stud nut with it, It ultimately worked but the stud nut backed off almost all the way off, I had to stop and readjust and thread the stud nut on again.
Also the comment about pumping the ball joint off via the grease fitting doesn't work 100% of the time as some of the older ball joints are open at the top, some are sealed (closed on the top). Pumping the ball joint off with a grease gun ONLY works with sealed top ball joints and ONLY if the ball joint isn't worn all the way thru the top.

the tool works good, not sure you make it, it's available everywhere. but reverse threads would prevent the nut from backing off. happened on both sides. also i lubed my tool. lol

How would you remove it if the ball has broken and is out of the cup? The grease pressure trick isn't working....

[jefffmitcham]

I cut a peice of 11/4 sch 40 steel pipe and used a couple washer and tighten the ball joint nut and it came right out

[tiggintampa]

actually you do not need this tool to remove ball joints. at 1:46 you see the grease fitting, you use a grease gun and since under pressure the ball joint slowly but safely comes right out with ease.

[yzfmax]

you know that little grease zerk on the side thats all covered in dirt can be used to hydraulically push the ball joint out super easily...

[MacCustoms]

you can pump these out with a grease gun its easy no tool needed

These knob gobblers blocked me from buying on ebay for telling them their cheap Chinese rebranded sportsman 500 headgasket was junk. Way too thin compared to oem. Valve cover gasket had a wax like side to it, leaked. Don't waste your time like I did. They can't handle constructive criticism. You're not allowed to comment to these guys. I gather they didn't want me to leave a bad review on ebay. I'm sure some things they sell are fine. Do your research and look closely. Nuff said and KMA Quad Logic
