Product Information

Full details

The Neilsen Ball Joint Splitter is an essential tool for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts tasked with front-end suspension repairs. Designed for the efficient removal of ball pivots on tie-rods and stabilizers, this tool simplifies the separation of stubborn suspension components without damaging surrounding parts. While it provides excellent leverage for 19mm to 22mm ball joints, users should note that its size-specific design limits its application to vehicles within that precise dimension range.

FAQs

Does this tool damage the ball joint boot?

If used correctly, it is designed to push the stud out without applying force directly to the rubber boot, minimizing the risk of damage.

Can I use this on larger truck suspension parts?

No, the 19-22mm capacity is designed for passenger vehicles and light trucks; it will not fit larger industrial or heavy-duty truck joints.

Do I need any other tools to use this?

You will need a standard wrench or ratchet to turn the pressure bolt on the splitter.

Is it safe to use on aluminum suspension arms?

Yes, because it uses a direct compression force rather than the heavy impact of a hammer, it is much safer for aluminum components.

What is the best way to clean the tool after use?

Wipe it down with a clean rag to remove grease and metal filings, then apply a light coating of oil before storing.

Troubleshooting

The tool will not fit around the ball joint.

Verify that your ball joint size is within the 19-22mm range and ensure no residual dirt or rust is preventing the forks from seating properly.

The pressure bolt is difficult to turn.

Apply a penetrating oil to the threads of the bolt and check for debris in the mechanism; ensure the tool is positioned squarely against the joint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable zinc-plated finish prevents rust
  • Simplifies removal of seized suspension parts
  • Protects surrounding components from hammer damage
  • Sturdy construction for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Limited to 19-22mm ball joint sizes
  • Requires manual adjustment during the extraction process
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty truck or industrial-sized suspension components

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your repair, confirm that your vehicle's ball joint fits within the 19-22mm operating range. This tool is compatible with most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles using standard tie-rod ends.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Keep the threaded drive bolt lightly lubricated with grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent thread wear.
  • Inspect the forks periodically for signs of metal fatigue or warping.
  • Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the zinc plating.
