Subject:Special Tools for the Home Mechanic

Just scored me a couple of special tools for some front end work.

1)  OTC Pitman Arm/Tie Rod End Puller  - Jim Felder loaned me his once -
and boy did it make a tie rod end change out so simple. Figured I had to
have one - specially having three vans.

2) OTC Upper Ball Joint Extractor - another one of those "must have"
special tools. Volksiebus is a bit loose so that job is coming up. It's
going to make it so easy!

Gonna eventually get into the lower ball joint. I want to be ready.

These tools are from Amazon Dot Com.
