When a repair requires a difficult separation, you need a tool that makes it straightforward. The OEMTOOLS 25202 Ball Joint Separator is a removal tool designed with the fundamentals in mind. This heat treated alloy steel separator bar uses a simple tapered wedge design like a chisel to drive the components of a ball joint apart.

The drop forged, heavy duty steel construction and long knurled handle provide powerful leverage, while a protective zinc plating guards against rust and corrosion. It’s easy to use by hand or with a hammer. This balljoint tool is engineered to apply the necessary force even when dislodging rusted or seized parts.

From the Manufacturer Separate those stubborn ball joints from the steering knuckles! Simply insert between the parts to be separated and hammer the end, thus breaking the parts free and making replacement and disassembly of front suspensions and steering components easy.

Great addition to the toolbox
Size: 15/16 In.
Just right. Wear ear protection! But man this thing is another great one to have around. Separate tough ball joint nicely. It’s the right tool. And I’ve found another couple uses for it too.

Just fine for cars and light trucks.
Size: 15/16 In.
This tool is completely adequate for occasional use on cars and light trucks with a two or three pound sledge. The surface does deform a little which means that the tool will stay wedged in the joint. This can be used to your advantage when the parts do not separate with normal levels of force. On a particularly tight joint drive the fork into the joint with a half dozen blows. When the tool is solidly wedged in the joint, apply more penetrating oil to the seam between ball joint and A-frame, and leave the fork in the joint for a while. With the fork applying a load on the joint the fresh oil will penetrate further than before. When you come back in a half an hour or so the parts will separate more easily. ... show more

Bought It for the Name—Glad I Did
Size: 15/16 In.
I picked this up just because it’s OEMTOOLS and it didn’t let me down! Used it on the steering pitman arm ball joint, which is usually a pain to deal with. This time? Nope! Fit perfect, one solid whack with the hammer, and it popped right out. Saved me a ton of time and frustration. Build quality’s solid, only thing I’d improve is the strike zone ”it could be a little more defined”. It’s a 4-star tool, but for how easy it made the job, I’m giving it 5. Worth every penny. ... show more

It worked great! Exactly how we needed it to. Was changing the control arms on a Nissan and got the job done!

OK, at Best

Got the job done but took a beating if you’re looking for a long-term tool. This is not it. if you just need it for a job or two it will work.
