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. When used as designed, the tool will stand up to years of use. 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. Plus, with a standard 15/16 inch opening, this ball joint removing tool can be just as useful to remove CV drive shafts. If you find yourself stuck at a proverbial fork in the road, let the OEMTOOLS 25202 Ball Joint Separator show you the way towards a job well done. 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. Forged and heat treated heavy duty alloy steel with knurled handle. Tapered fork wedge ends with a 15/16-inch opening. Review: Bought It for the Name—Glad I Did - 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. Review: Good stuff. - Not sure why I settled for this one over any of the others but it worked just fine. ## Features - Pickle Fork Separator Tool: The tapered fork wedge design of this ball joint separator tool focuses on the fundamentals of machine technology for an easy and uncomplicated process - Precision Performance: Striking the handle with a hammer separates the ball joint cleanly; Designed with a 15/16 inch opening for a firm hold and secure removal - Hardened Steel: The heat treated steel alloy construction of this ball joint separator stands up to tough jobs; Zinc plating resists rust and extends service life - Thoughtful Design: Ball joint separator handle features a nonslip knurled texture; Used as designed, this front end service tool will stand up to years of use - Versatile Uses: This universal ball joint separator can be used for a variety of repairs; For example, the ball joint tool can also be used on CV drive shafts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CMJHCI | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,407 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #61 in Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools | | Brand | OEMTOOLS | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,810) | | Date First Available | March 6, 2008 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.55 pounds | | Item model number | 25202 | | Manufacturer | OEMTOOLS | | Manufacturer Part Number | 25202 | | Model | 25202 | | OEM Part Number | 25202 | | Product Dimensions | 14.8 x 2.75 x 1 inches | ## Images ![OEMTOOLS 25202 Ball Joint Separator, 15/16 Inch Pickle Fork Tool, Heavy Duty Steel Tie Rod Removal Tool, Ball Joint Removal Tool, And Joint Splitter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sTmUSenUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this fit 2012 chevy cruze?** A: Thanks for your question. Unfortunately we don't maintain specific vehicle application for the OEMTools 25202. Also you did not mention what component you are looking to remove. I do however doubt this will work on your Chevy Cruise. I don't believe the tapered shaft on any of your steering or suspension components are 15/16". This is size is usually found on full size PU Trucks. If you are removing Tie Rods, I would check the tapered shaft size of you replacement component and order one of our other sizes by searching Amazon for OEMTools Tie Rod End Puller. If you are removing the Ball Joint, you need our OEMTOOLS 27234 Steering Knuckle Spreader Tool to prevent damage to your Steering Knuckle. I hope this answers your question. **Q: Can this tool be used to take the pedals off a Bicycle?** A: You don't use prying force to take the pedals off a bicycle. You use a wrench on the flats of the bore, typically it's a 13mm. If you have a nicer road bike, a hex key might be involved. **Q: What is the diameter of the shaft? I might be able to use one for a non-automotive project. Thx** A: Diameter is about 1/2 inch, I do use it for other things. **Q: Will work to remove ball joints of 2007 silverado 1500?** A: I don't know off the top of my head how the ball joints are secured to the control arms of a 2007 Silverado, but you would probably need a ball joints press to actually remove the ball joint. This is basically a pry bar for disconnecting steering/control components from ball joint studs after removing their nuts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought It for the Name—Glad I Did *by D***K on May 14, 2025* I picked this up just because it’s OEMTOOLS and it didn’t let me down!
