Want to order a custom mitsu factory tool, here's how....

[blacksheep]

I have been looking for the place that made and sold Mitsu techs their custom tools for a while now.

Last time I posted, I was trying to find a balljoint splitter and finally got a generic tool which worked OK.

This time around, I was on the hunt for a balljoint boot installer. I called several dealerships, talked to my mitsu contacts, performance shops etc and no luck.

Then, buried on page 24 of a random google search, I found it.

So, I called them and they sell to the public as well, no need to be a dealer. Anywhos, figured this would help y'all...

Nice find, I remember ordering a tensioner tool from them a while back and they only had a generic web site.

This should probably be moved to the how to section. I some how ordered the actual mitsu tensioner tool for a t-belt job years ago, but I forget how I did it.

Very good info.

anyone know which one of these tools will work for our cars? there are alot listed and it seems they are all for new vehicles.

Do you own a FSM and use it to work on the car? I am guessing not. BUt, Your factory service manual aka FSM should mention special tool needed and list a part no. and a pic of it in the begining of the section and also when the particular assembly/disassembly is being done.

 

I can get them at a local dealership.

 

Way to F'ing go KC! My left finger thanks you, lol. (for all the link-clicking, you filthy pervs)
