Orion Motor Tech Ball Joint Puller and Lower Control Arm Pry Tool — Subaru Kit, Heat-Treated Carbon Steel, Slide-Hammer Compatible

The Orion Motor Tech OMT Ball Joint Puller and Lower Control Arm Prying Tool is a heavy-duty, Subaru-compatible kit designed to remove stubborn ball joints and pry control arms safely and efficiently.

This compact kit combines a precision ball-joint puller with a matching pryer built for late-model Subaru front suspension work. Made from heat-treated carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, the set attaches to standard 24mm impact or socket wrenches and most slide hammers, letting a single technician replace worn or seized ball joints without damaging studs, boots, or surrounding components.

How does this tool set prevent damage to ball joint studs during removal?

The OMT design uses a custom sliding pin and housing that captures the ball joint stud so it cannot rotate while being pressed out. That restraint minimizes torsion and reduces the risk of cracking or breaking the stud or joint housing when forcing out rusted or seized parts.

• Sliding pin secures the stud to stop spin and shear.
• Precision-fit housing centers pull force to avoid off-angle stresses.
• Works with slide hammers to apply straight axial force.

Which Subaru models and years will this puller fit?

This puller is engineered to work with most late-model Subaru cars and SUVs, covering decades of common front suspension ball joints. It fits models where ball studs and housings follow the typical Subaru dimensions listed by the manufacturer.

• Compatible: Legacy (1990–present), Impreza (1993–present), Forester (1998–present).
• Also fits: Outback (2000–present), Baja (2003–present), and many related platforms.
• Designed for common Subaru joint geometries; verify fit for uncommon variations.

What tools and connections are required to use the puller and pry bar?

The puller accepts 24mm impact or socket wrenches and any slide hammer with a 5/8"-18 thread, while the included lower control arm pryer fits any standard 7/8" pry bar. That compatibility keeps the kit flexible for professional garages or DIYers with typical toolboxes.

• Puller accepts 24mm impact/socket wrench drive.
• Threaded for 5/8"-18 slide hammers for controlled extraction.
• Pryer mates with 7/8" pry bars so you can lever control arms safely.

How durable is the kit and what finish does it have?

Orion Motor Tech manufactures the components from drop-forged carbon steel, then heat-treats and coats them for wear and corrosion resistance. The construction is geared for repeated garage use and the occasional heavy extraction on rusted suspension hardware.

• Drop-forged carbon steel for high tensile strength.
• Heat-treated to resist bending and deformation under load.
• Protective coating reduces rust and extends service life.

Who is this for: Mechanics, home DIYers, and independent shops working on Subaru front suspension who need a reliable, purpose-built solution for removing ball joints and prying lower control arms. If you routinely service late-model Subaru vehicles or encounter seized, rusted, or worn ball joints, this kit reduces risk of collateral damage and speeds repairs while using standard shop tools.
