Description

If you've ever attempted to try removing a shock eye from a ball connector on a damper's ball joint, you know just how frustrating that it can be as it is hard to do it without damaging or deforming the shock's eye, especially in vintage radio controlled model vehicles. Checking the R/C forums for advice can be even more frustrating since the advice all seems to be contradictory or flat out wrong.
