You tried both stores?
The south store seems to have more stock?
You could use a BF hammer to remove them ;)
Does Canadian tire still rent tools?

Don't use a pickle fork to remove ball joints. Remove the castle nuts and hit the knuckle on the side with a hammer where the joint slides through the knuckle. Hit the knuckle really hard on the top joint a few times then hit the lower. Might be a good idea to leave the lower nut on a few threads because when the lower lets go the knuckle will just fall off. Have fun.

My mistake Dava,
I have the U-joint press, not the complete kit.

Thats the one PA sells.
Useful unit. I've done 4 balljoints with it, and I don't know how many ujoints.
Handy unit, fits nice into a loaded trail heep too for trail tools.

I got the same kit from PA except it 's in a red box...
I paid about $100 for it... it works well.

Did a search, and this was the most relevant thread.. so hopefully this is not too much of a thread hijack.. Any of you guys who own the U joint kit want to lend it out? I've attempted to get my old one out with the BFH approach and a modified C clamp approach but no such luck as she is seized in their good. Would be greatly appreciated if someone could lend theirs out or even supervise w/ beer privileges pm if interested!.
