Got one for abt $125 from a powerseller...can't remember his name but he sells alot of Pittsburgh stuff.

[kamakazi]

Should clarify... When I say ball joint removal tool...I am referring to the reinforced C clamp that can be used to press out/in ball joints on a control arm... Not the separator
My apologies if I caused some confusion

[Ted_v2]

Getting Thst Duncan village tool house too. Ball joint press is the name

Thanks for the info though

anyone knows how hard is a 3oz grease gun tube to locate? i could get the larger tubes all over but not the smaller ones.
wanna buy a grease gun but i hate the size of the bigger ones.

[hong kong phooey]

you could manually refill your old cartridge.
or where ever you buy the small grease gun ask them about the grease

[Strugglerzinc]

Get a larger one with a pistol grip type pump if pumping is the issue. Basically one hand operation.

[Ted_v2]

Now thinking about it, that makes sense. I'm accustomed to the ones that needs two hands to work like a hedge cutter.

When greasing a couple 3 tons weekend, it turned into a two man job

Ted is you doing a lot of greasing go for a battery operated grease gun. man this makes life so much easier

[Strugglerzinc]

The additional expense only makes sense if he maintaining a fleet or something like that.

[Ted_v2]

I recently started doing a small fleet maintenance actually. Just 3 3tons and two pickup, got almost 8 per. A battery unit is ideal but i cant drop all that coin at this moment, no air on jobsite either.

ill check around, the pistol grip seems ideal and in my budget. Ill stick to the bigger carriages because it seems to be easier to locate.

[Strugglerzinc]

I have one of these off Amazon Lumax $20 USD. Almost sure i saw same brand in Allied. Only issue is the hose does not like to let go of the zerks

[nervewrecker]

Anywhere sells epoxy resin? I want to try something.

[pugboy]

Marc-one in chaguaramas, little more expensive but doesn't stink.
Peakes may also have.

[nervewrecker]

Thanks. I think I asked in here already but didnt get around to buying any.

[Ted_v2]

Went allied and saw some pretty decent quality grease guns for 85$. It doesn't come pistol grip nor with a flexible hose. But they selling the hose separately. Quality seems pretty good but I'll still look around for a pistol grip. If not I'll grab up one because the quality is pretty good.

[tedmagid]

Any woodwork tools for sale

The pistol grip with the flex tube is what I have been using for years. I swap out to a rigid tube if I can. That makes for a one hand job.

[kamakazi]

Think I saw the pistol grip lumax grease gun at tool store San Fernando... Price was around 245 though

[rspann]

Automotive Supplies on Charles St. buy the 1/2" drive socket in the size you need. Tiida seat bolts are sometimes hard to remove.

[pugboy]

hard is an understatement lol
