Default Ball Cup Reamer for Sticky Links

Having issues with sticky pillow balls and found a set of 4 ball head reamers on FleaBay for $10. I'm thinking they should do the trick in loosing them up.
If interested just search Trex 450 Reamer.

Before you throw down money on that product, a member here (Codyboy) gave me a great tip. Take the ball end with (metal) ball in it, and slightly compress the plastic on the sides of the ball with pliers, a vice, or channel locks to expand the plastic a bit and the sticky ball will free right up. Do a little at a time, you don't want to deform the plastic and make it too loose. I couldn't believe how well it works. Wish I would have known this trick back at the turn of the Millennium lol... probably would have saved me from buying a million Traxxas rod ends...
