OEMTOOLS 25112 Ball Joint Separator, Adjustable Ball Joint Separator Tool, 2-3/8" Max Opening Range, Ball Joint Removal Tool for Trucks, Cars, and SUVs, Works with 3/4" Socket or Wrench

Product worked great on my 3/4 ton GM. I did have to use heat to break loose my lower ball joint. I can verify it fits Chevy Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500.

This little press worked great on my lower control arm ball joints. I thought I was never going to be able to break the ball joints loose. After hours of heating and beating a pickle fork with a hammer with no luck what so ever , I ordered this little tool as a last resort and I am so glad I did. It worked like a champ. I did still heat up the metal around the ball joint and the shaft of the ball joint. When I got through with the torch, I applied this tool and with a few turns the ball joint made a loud pop and it was out. If you are having problems trying to replace your ball joints or needing a good press for a tight area, this is a super great tool to have in your tool box. There are several different styles of pullers or press for ball joint removal, this one worked great on my lower control arms for a 2004 Chevrolet silverado Z71. Thanks!

Worked flawlessly , did the job quickly.

This tool is too flimsy to do anything that it's supposed to do. I'm working on my daughter's 2003 Explorer. This would not budge a ball-joint or tie-rod end. It flexes so much that it walks off the end of the stud, whether you use the ball end or the flat end. I ended up using the ball-joint puller and the pitman arm puller from the OEM Tools front end service kit. I already had that kit and shouldn't have wasted my money on this junk.

Decent tool for the money. It's a nock-off of U.S.A. made OTC separator at a nock-off price. It seems well made; drop forged body. Two big differences with the U.S.A. made one. First the two forks that hook around the spindle/nuckle are much thinner than the original. They have held up removing ball joints on smaller trucks and cars but not sure if I would trust them on a F350 or the likes. Second, the end of the press bolt that contacts the stud does not swivel. This makes the tool tend to want to walk off the stud. I haven't had it happen yet but it is a cheap tool design that could lead to a big fat booboo. The problem with the press bolt can be fixed by modifying it, (that's what I did) but even with it being a cheap nock-off you should not have to do that in my opinion. Just Buyer Beware!

Instead of beating suspension parts this tool makes for cleaner removal . I did learn that using an impact was not the best way to go . So I use a long ratchet and socket. Go a couple of turns and then use a hammer to keep the tool centered . The shock from the hammer along with the pressure of the puller does a good job . In some cases a ball joint stud may need to be cut shorter to make the tool fit .

Worked great on an '82 VW lower ball joint, to separate it from the control arm. It does not remove the ball joint from the steering knuckle. For that you will need to make a custom tool. (See Samba for instructions). I also used this on the upper ball joint to separate the ball joint from the upper steering kuckle. Removing the upper ball joint from the control is just two bolts.

Not a bad tool. I don’t think it heated treated the same as the real deal GM tool. The fingers at the base of the tool are already starting to bend on mine. If your just working on your car at home it should be fine.

Worked perfectly on 2019 ram

Well made / Fast / preserves ball Joints does not destroy them.

Used it to remove front wheel stud on Subaru Outback 2020. Within seconds it was done very easily and without any damage. Tool is strong and flexible for suspension components.

I can see this is a good item and would likely have got the job done but ended up not suitable for my specific use as the fixed width C jaw was too wide.

Good product
