Size: Ball Joint Separator


Features

  • APPLICATIONS: Our Ball Joint Separator with offset lever provides superior performance when separating steering and suspension ball joints from spindle support arms found in most cars and light trucks.
  • DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: With its special 2-stage adjustable design with removable pin, this ball joint separator has a max opening range of 22mm, with its fork opening measuring 7/8" (21mm) wide by 1-1/4" (32mm) Deep. The included push rod features a 21mm hex bolt head, threaded body, and ball bearing tip, allowing less friction when turning.
  • DURABILITY: This durable ball join separator features a tempered drop forged steel body with black oxide push rod and locking pin. The push rod lines up with machined recess in the steel body, keeping the tool aligned and minimizing warpage as pressure increases with each turn.
  • RELIABLE | EFFECTIVE | EFFICIENT: Users trust ARES to be quality tools that make an impact. You are backed by our Performance Assurance Limited Lifetime Warranty. If you have any issues with your ARES Ball Joint Separator, simply contact customer service for troubleshooting help, parts, replacement, or refund.

  • As good as the OEMTOOLs
I actually bought this for removing the suspension yoke on a GMC Envoy. None of the pullers from AutoZone were thin enough to fit behind the yoke. So, I bought the cheapest pitman arm puller I could find on Amazon with the intention of filing down the arms. When it arrived, it was the same quality as the OEMTOOLs and I might actually say slightly better. The arms were already thinner and I only had to file off a couple millimeters for it to fit. Then it worked great and popped the yoke right off. Perfect $13 investment to get the job done. ... show more

  • Well made
It was too small for what I needed it for. The right size tool for a smaller ball joint!

  • Worked Great
Size: Pickle Fork Ball Joint Separator
Read some reviews about how bad this item was but ya can't believe everything you read. I needed this for my ball joints and the auto parts stores wanted $45+ for it. Paid $15 for this one and it held up great. It's still in excellent condition even after using it on 3 different jeeps. No dents no nothing. I think some of these guys aren't using this fork correctly cause I had absolutely no issues. Thanks for selling a great product for a reasonable price. ... show more

  • Works as designed on 1969 Camaro
This inexpensive ball joint separator worked perfectly on both tie rod ends and ball joints. On the ball joints I left the loosened nut with small gap to allow the joint to "snap" loose without separating completely from the spindle making it easier to manage as mine were assemblies including the rotor and caliper. I did heat the area slightly around the joint stud/nut area to make separation easier. I also recommend some lubricant on the tool threads so the bolt isn't working harder to push the joint stud in. My control arms are Speed Tech tube arms and I experienced no damage at all to the boots. The tool just slid in perfectly. The only issue I see is that after this first use the silver plating is starting to come off in some areas but it's a minor issue to me. ... show more

  • Great tool if you plan on changing the ball joint
Great tool breaking loose ball joints but will rip the ball joint boots so if you plan on using it be prepared to replace ball joints as well
