I bought one from Harbor Freight. When they are on sale, they are only about $40.

Re: Ball joint press: where to rent?

Advance Auto Part, used their Powerbuilt press for the Lincoln's front end rebuild last summer and it worked great, even on the control arm bushings that it ain't really designed to deal with
