 Adequate Tool For The Job July 10, 2010
BA
I was a bit skeptical when I first bought this tool, because it looked to be too bulky for my 1997 Honda CR-V's lower ball joints. It actually worked pretty well with a couple modifications to its usage. First, contrary to the instructions, I used a hex nut on the end of the ball joint stem, being sure to seat the nut flush with the end of the stem (instructions say to leave the castle nut in place, but it seemed too tall - may be different on your particular vehicle). Second, the forked portion of the tool wouldn't fit all the way under the ball joint boot at first, so I applied a little grease to the fork so that I could gradually slide it under the boot as I turned the tool's bolt to separate the ball joint from the lower arm. Done.
All in all, this tool was a good value for its application.
Caution: Do not hammer aggressively on the tool to force the fork under the ball joint boot; you risk tearing the ball joint boot by doing so.

Heavy, very sturdy, very effective. Used it on my SAAB 9000 and a friend's Escort ZX2. The jaw opens wide enough to accommodate a range of control arm sizes and bolt lengths.
works as intended, a time and effort saver February 20, 2010

the tool worked as intended without any problems on both the tie rods and ball joints of my 2002 Elantra. this
is not a pro-grade tool by any stretch, but quite adequate for the DIY. the portion of the separator that fits
against the nut is very thick and some cars may not have the needed clearance for it. but in my case,no problems,
saves quite a bit of time, and no damage to the boots. it more than pays for itself by allowing you to easily
change the CV joint/axle.
Awesome tool for the price! February 11, 2010

The stabilizer link on my 1999 Jeep Wrangler broke and I used this tool to separate the joint. It worked great! It took a lot of pressure to break it apart and I thought the tool might break, but it didn't. Highly recommend!

Not the right part for ball joint replacement on a Plymouth Acclaim. I should have looked at the ball joint first, but I was mislead by the description that led me to believe that it worked with most cars. It said: "Works on virtually all tie rod ends and compact car ball joints". I figured I had a pretty "typical" car with a K car. I had to rent the right tool instead.
