I'm pretty sure I don't need this. My balls don't have joints. And, even if they did, I wouldn't want to separate them.

One of those things that unless you're a mechanic by trade you won't need it until you really need it. Anyone know if car part places just rent these for free?

Once you get older them joints are going to start acting up and like yard dogs....you'll want to keep them separated.

Thanks again SlickDeals for causing me to buy something I never thought I needed, and probably never will need.

Dont need one now, but would be kicking myself if I had to pay $30 for it. Thanks OP!

A lot of times, this will destroy the boot, so be careful. If your replacing it, it doesn't really matter.

Better off to rebuy and replace. They almost never price adjust.

And if you were a mechanic by trade you'd know a sledgehammer to the spindle is better at breaking the tapered joints free in most cases
