How Mechanics Use This Tool
Ball joint removal requires controlled force application. The mechanic positions the fork around the ball joint housing, and the curved inner radius prevents slipping. A hammer strike on the knurled grip transfers energy directly to the joint, breaking the taper lock. The 300mm length provides sufficient mechanical advantage without requiring excessive force—reducing risk of damage to surrounding suspension components.
