FAQs

What types of vehicles can this ball joint puller be used on?

This tool is designed for universal application and can be used on all types of vehicles.

What is the maximum jaw opening size?

The adjustable jaw opening can accommodate components up to 50mm.

What material is the tool made from?

The tool features a durable forged carbon steel construction.

Can this tool be used for tie rod ends as well as ball joints?

Yes, it is designed to remove both ball joints and tie rod ends.

How should I maintain the tool?

After use, clean the tool and apply a light coat of oil to the threads and moving parts to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.

What should I do if the tool is not separating the joint?

Try applying penetrating oil, ensuring the tool is properly seated, and applying steady pressure. Gentle tapping may also help.

Troubleshooting

Tool slips off the ball joint.

Ensure the jaw opening is correctly adjusted and fully seated around the ball joint stud. Verify there is no excessive grease or dirt obstructing the grip.

Difficulty separating the ball joint.

Apply penetrating oil to the joint and allow it to soak. Ensure the forcing screw is properly aligned and applying even pressure. In stubborn cases, a gentle tap with a hammer on the knuckle (not the tool) might help break it free.

Jaw opening not sufficient.

Confirm the component size is within the tool's maximum capacity of 50mm. For larger components, a different type of puller may be required.
