Title: RE Joint Tool
Post by: BEZZ on January 16, 2009, 03:59:57 PM

Hey guys,  I am rebuilding some control arms I bought this week and I was wondering if anyone has the large RE joint tool I could borrow...I bought the small one but I didn't get the large one. Let me know.

Hammer and punch is all you need.

I used a punch before also and it destroyed the holes on the ring. You can find one of these tools at a cycle shop .. they used them on bikes. it's like $20 and it does not destroy that little ring and works quite well...

You can use a punch and a hammer it does work..

Yeah works fine. Just dont use a 5lb hammer and 260lbs of arm like Dom does....lol

That was a good price on tube btw.
