The KD Tools 41610 Pneumatic Tie Rod / Ball Joint Separator Kit offers professional mechanics a reliable and efficient solution for demanding front-end and suspension service tasks. This versatile kit is engineered to safely separate tie rods, ball joints, and pitman arms, particularly when components are corroded or seized. It provides a controlled method designed to minimize the risk of damage to surrounding vehicle parts.

Key Features

• Dual-Mode Functionality: Operates efficiently with any standard 0.401" shank air hammer for rapid separation, or can be used manually with its knurled handle, providing precision and control in sensitive areas or when air supply is limited.
• Comprehensive Fork Selection: Includes three essential separator fork sizes (1-1/8", 15/16", and 11/16") to accommodate a broad spectrum of passenger car and light truck steering and suspension applications.
• Integrated Component Protection: Features an engineered geometry that effectively directs force into the joint, significantly reducing shock and helping to protect critical components such as steering knuckles, control arms, boots, and seals.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Manufactured with chrome-plated components, this kit offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, simplifies cleanup, and improves visibility in demanding undercar work environments.
