[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 430372, member: 18789"] Did you end up going the same route as me? OTC press and stuck the OTC jeep adapters in one of the empty pockets? Ideal setup IMO, I don't regret spending that money at all, even if it's rarely used. I also decided to keep my harmonic balancer rental this time, I've used them enough, it's a hassle going to the store for one each time you need it. AutoZone gave me a new one this last time so I said screw it, for $26 it's mine. I have not had luck using the press on u-joints, usually they are seized in place that the ears bend before the joints give. At least for the times I've tried. I end up having to hammer the joints out. Definitely enjoy having the tool collection though. Another good one is hose clamp pliers. Cable actuated clamper that makes working with factory spring clamps easy as can be. I don't like the worm gear clamps because they leak, so I like having the proper tool to make the difficult, better clamps easy to manage. Trying to think of the other oddball tools I use for my vehicles. Not coming up with any but I'm sure there are more that I'll think of eventually. [/QUOTE]
