How thick is the part of the tool that contacts the end of the bolt of the ball joint? I have "very" little clearance on my 2002 Volvo V40 between the end of the bolt and the abs ring on the axle. The tool will probably have to be something like 3/8"...

The part that presses on the end of the bolt is 1/2" thick. If you can only fit 3/8", you can probably use an angle grinder to shave it down until it fits. As an alternative, if you're going to be replacing the ball joint, you can cut off some of the bolt end to get some more clearance.

I have 1/2" and 3/8". I accidentally torque a bolt higher than spec of wrench and it encountered an error. I phoned the vendor and they sent me a brand new one, and asked for me to return the old one with the included label. This was at least 2 years after my purchase. I am not sure what the stated warranty is, but happy with my purchase.

5/8" is too much. I think the tolerance is + or - 1/32". As others have said, use shims to get the 1/2" clearance.

I ran a main trunk line in 4" ABS (sewer pipe--not the black plastic rigid dust collection pipe) from my garage to my basement work shop. between sections, I glued 4" to 3" ABS reducer bushings and connected the sections with the clear plastic tubing. The OD of the 3" ABS reducer fittings matches the ID of the 4" tubing. I ran braided copper ground wire inside the ABS, drilling 1/16 holes to route the wire around the blast gates and bolted 1 end to my dust collector and physically bolting all my machines as well. I primarily use the clear plastic tubing to see where I'm getting clogged, remove debris causing the clog and maintaining the blast gates. I recently purchased more tubing because I added more equipment

What we ended up doing is taking a very big flat-bladed screwdriver and wedging it in between one side of the hex bolt and the metal of the bottom bar. We then used a great big wrench to turn the ball to tighten it. (So we turned the ball and held the nut in place as opposed to holding the ball still and turning the nut). Doing it this way did mar the rubbery covering of the unit a little, but it also got the job done.

I'm not sure what it is, but on the side where the small drill and extractor is says 3/32 - 5/32 (M 3-4) - likely recommended sizes of bolt heads to extract?? I snapped the smallest drill bit so I can't even measure it, I will see if I can post a pic of the actual inside of the case..

I believe it was 3/8th or 11/32, I used a hand nut driver. Im not sure if that is the proper name for the tool. However it is like a screwdriver.

I had the same problem. The nut is an inset nut on the newer models (the manual diagram hasn't been updated to indicate as such); if you push up on the inset nut from the bottom while screwing in the bolt, it will engage the threads. Good luck!

Hello Laura, The bottom bracket is reverse threaded so it does not come loose when pedaling. As far as the size wrench you need i'm not 100% but you could use a crescent wrench to loosen the nut. We do not manufacturer this bottom bracket so I do not know the exact size mm for the ball bearings. let me know if this info helps you at all. Thank you!

Greetings: The only spec that I can find on that support is it is rated at 534N. If you can measure your old support both fully extended from the center of the end we can try to match up that way. Also do you know what the ball size is on yours. 10mm or 13mm. Thank You, Lou Fishman Lift Supports Depot .Com

I have a 3/4 threaded shank with a 2 inch ball. The hole towards the end is 5/8 diameter for pull behind attachments that would use on riding lawnmowers. And then hitch pin is 1/2 inch diameter. Hope this helps.

What she meant is if the bar that goes into the hitch is long enough for the vertical bar to clear the spare tire. It would have to be 8-9" minimum from the pin hole. Can someone please measure it? I also drive a jeep and would like to know before I buy it. Thanks!

My tractor has a 3/4 inch hole so I went to the hardware store and bought a flanged reducing bushing (1/2 to 3/4 inch) and got a perfect fit. I think there is a 1/2 to 5/8 inch available. They are available in different lengths so you don't need to cut them. The flanged part lets you land the lock washer right on it.

You could use an adapter to take it up from quarter inch to 3/8 inch. I've driven lag bolts with it and it does fine.

3/8" is far more versatile than 1/2". 1/2" is more for really heavy duty work. The 3/8" version of this tool was powerful enough to remove the wheel hub bolts from my car, and those are notoriously difficult to remove.

It seems a good question to ask in light of measurements taken. This snatch block's holes measure 2.1135" i.d. If the actual diameter, a 2-5/16" ball would be .199" too large for this snatch. 3/16" equals .1875". Half of .199" is .0995. Whatever is ground from the i.d. of the holes will of course weaken it, will undoubtedly void the warranty, and other bad things. That's the bad news. Maybe your hitch ball will measure 2.112" or so. Good luck.
