Universal Ball Joint Separator with Forcing Screw, Heavy-Duty Steel
Brief Overview
This is a manual ball joint separator designed for the demanding work of removing ball pivots from steering arms, tie rods, and steering knuckles on heavy trucks and commercial vehicles. Built from special hardened steel, it uses a mechanical forcing action rather than impact or hydraulics, making it ideal for situations where precision and control are critical. If you need alternatives for specific vehicle ranges, consider pairing this with an adjustable universal ball joint extractor for lighter applications or a dedicated truck ball joint removal tool for specialized heavy-duty work.
Key Features
- Hinged, fork-style design with U-shaped lower yoke and upper arm for secure seating on the joint
- Threaded forcing bolt with hex head allows controlled, progressive pressure application
- Swivel pressure pad distributes force evenly and prevents slipping on the ball pivot
- Forged steel construction engineered for the high stress loads encountered in heavy truck suspension work
- Universal compatibility fits a range of ball joint sizes through adjustable arm positioning
- Manual operation provides full mechanic control and tactile feedback during removal
