BALL JOINT SEPARATOR - Kent-Moore

The Kent-Moore OT6655 Ball Joint Separator is a professional-grade tool engineered for the precise and damage-free separation of ball joints from steering knuckles and control arms. Designed for rigorous daily use in professional service environments, this tool provides the controlled leverage and access essential for servicing modern front suspensions, particularly where corrosion and tight clearances often complicate traditional removal methods.

Key Features

• Professional-Grade Construction: Built for exceptional durability, offering reliable performance on stubborn, corrosion-bound ball joints commonly encountered in demanding professional settings.
• Precision Screw-Action: Facilitates controlled and targeted separation directly at the ball joint stud, helping to preserve vital components such as boots, tapered seats, and threads.
• Controlled Force Application: Minimizes shock loads to knuckles and control arms, presenting a safer and more effective alternative to impact-only tools or pickle forks.
• Compact Design: Allows for versatile application across a broad spectrum of passenger car and light truck front suspensions where working space is frequently restricted.
• Protects Alignment-Critical Surfaces: Designed to help maintain the integrity of tapered bores and seating surfaces, supporting accurate reassembly and proper vehicle alignment.

Applications

The Kent-Moore OT6655 Ball Joint Separator is ideal for professional technicians servicing passenger cars, light trucks, and various fleet vehicles that utilize conventional ball joint and steering knuckle designs. It is particularly suited for many 1998 and later Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including specific models such as Ford Expedition, Transit Connect, Fusion, F-Series trucks, E-Series vans, Lincoln MKZ, Navigator, and Mercury Milan. Common applications include front-end rebuilds, control arm replacement, steering knuckle removal, and ball joint replacement as part of comprehensive alignment and suspension repair work. This tool proves especially valuable in corrosive environments, such as rust-belt regions, where seized joints necessitate a controlled separation process to prevent damage to expensive suspension components and preserve original equipment fit surfaces.
