This Orion Motor Tech kit includes a precision sliding-pin puller that keeps the ball stud from spinning during extraction, plus a lower control arm pry adapter so a single mechanic can complete the repair using common shop tools. Built from drop-forged, heat-treated carbon steel with a protective coating, the set is intended for repeated garage and roadside use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tool avoid damaging ball studs during removal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe puller uses a custom sliding pin and housing that locks the ball stud in position so torque from impact tools doesn’t rotate the stud inside the joint.
