OTC C-Frame Update Kit contains two adapters which, when coupled with the large C-frame included in No. 8031 SUV Ball Joint Kit, make it possible to use any adapter designed for use with the smaller No. 7248 C-frame.

Works well with the OTC press, but pricey
Yes, it works well with the OTC (ball joints) press (clamp), but I question why these two piece of metal cost close to $100???The pieces are pretty strong, as my initial use didn't leave any significant markings on the, even with slight misalignment issues.The black oxide(?) coating is surprising durable.The larger of the two is held with a knurled set screw in the clamp, but it tends to fall out no matter how tight you try and set the set screw - it's hefty weight has probably something to do with it.You need to be careful with how to position the tool, as this piece falling out and hitting you can lead to significant injury.I cannot see rating this higher than 3-stars due to the high cost of the items - it really should not cost more than half that much, at the most.

A must for standard adapter sets to work with the big press
Fit press and adapters as it should. Handy modification to keep the bottom adapter in with the set screw-mark where set screw meets the side of the adapter, stick it in the drill press and make a detente for the screw! Works much better after doing so.

Works like a gem
Works like a gem, not only with the OTC 6736 Large C-Frame and Forcing Screw Assembly, but also with the Miller Special Tools (Mopar Tools) C-4212F ball joint press.The earlier comment by C.D. is worth noting. He is correct that it is clumsy when the lower adapter falls out. I bought an Allen head set screw with a sharp hardened point at my local hardware store to replace the provided wing nut set screw with a blunt point; it retains the adapter much better.

Would work better if small hole/divet was in the lower sleeve
Kinda nessesary. Makes it easier, so you arent walking on a tightrope, balancing 5 things while pressing out ballpoints, bushing, etc. Would work better if small hole/divet was in the lower sleeve, so it wouldnt slip out.

Get it. You wont regret it!
Perfect compliment to the OTC 6736 Large C-Frame Assembly. This kit made removing/installing ball joints a breeze. Very well made. I lucked out and got the used kit for a bit cheaper. After getting the box and inspecting it, It sure as heck did not look used. Looked brand new!

Necessary part for OTC 6736 clamp.
Necessary part for the OTC 6736 clamp. With this item plus that clamp, and the cups from any kit, you should be good to go!
