The OTC 6007 is a compact, heavy-duty prying aid designed to stabilize and lever the control arm so a single mechanic can complete the positioning step when paired with the OTC No. 7420 or 7421 pry bar—or any 7\/8\" diameter pry bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tool make ball joint installation easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OTC 6007 provides a controlled pivot point that holds the lower control arm at the proper angle while you insert and secure the ball joint.
