Uni-Ball Tool

HOW DOES IT WORK?
After the uni-ball clip has been removed from the component you are servicing. You place the cup (larger of the 2 steel pieces) on the same side as the uni-ball clip, with the pocket side of the cup facing the uni-ball. Then place the Piston (smaller of the 2 steel pieces) on the side opposite the cup with its pocket facing the uni-ball as well. Run the bolt through both pieces, grease the threads with anti-seize, install the washer then nut and tighten from the nut side until the piston presses the uni-ball out of the component and into the cup. To install the new uni-ball simply switch the Cup and Piston to the opposite sides. Grease the threads and tighten the nut until the uni-ball bottoms out into its bore.
(NOTE: When beginning the installation process it may be necessary to adjust the angle of the uni-ball slightly to ensure that it presses straight into the bore. DO NOT just tighten blindly. Make sure to pay attention and adjust the angle of the uniball as needed to ensure it is pressing into the cup straight. Failure to do so may cause damage to the bore of the component.)

HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT SIZE UNI-BALL TOOL TO ORDER?
First we need to determine what size uniballs you have. To do this you will need to remove the component attached to the uniball that you want to replace. This will expose the hole in the center of the uni-ball. This hole is what’s referenced when you hear people say they have 1.0inch uniball or 1.5inch uni-ball. To determine what your uni-balls are, measure across this hole (diameter). Typical sizes include ¾ inch, ⅞ inch, 1 inch, 1 ¼ inch or 1 ½ inch. We have named our Uni-ball tools using these same sizes. So once you have this measurement, just look for the tool of the same size.

NOTE: Uni-ball measurement to size conversion - ¾ (size 12), ⅞ (size 14), 1 (size 16), 1 ¼ (size 20), 1 ½ (size 24)
