One of the most dangerous tools to use… the ball joint pops loose and the tool goes flying…. I’ve learned to keep hands and face away from it when turning screw. There should be a warning label on the box

I'm glad to see a mechanic use this device....=> Most of all use a sledgehammer to separate the ball joint from the arm.

Well for everyone’s comment they’re not wrong it’s a ball joint separator but they just used it on a tie rod

If you're servicing a wheel bearing and your ball joints are still good, you want to use a hex nut or something to keep the threads from getting damaged with that tool. Use a new castle nut as well, most castle nuts are soft. Protected threads and new castle nuts reduces the chance of dealing with a spinning ball joint.

Do not remove nut from the ball joint stem, just loose it few turns

You actually found one that fits! I’ve got three of thdm and have not come across one ball joint that they would fit

That's a tie rod end, not a ball joint

I would not recommend that tool to anyone who has a rusted corroded ball joint that won’t come out. I’d rather use a ball joint press tool or the pickle fork or the claw to get it out. Those tools get damaged easily and pop out dangerously

Instead of waiting for a huge snap .. take a small hammer and tap the area, the vibrations will loosen it up before a huge wind up snap 😂😂

[luismateo]

try air hammer first, use thread protector

This is a tie rod end.... not a ball joint...
