Lisle Stepped Pickle Fork Replacement Ball Joint Tool

The Lisle Stepped Pickle Fork Replacement Ball Joint Tool is a replacement pickle fork, also called a ball joint separator or tie rod separator fork. It helps technicians separate ball joints, tie rod ends and similar tapered steering and suspension joints from the components they connect to. This is a replacement fork for worn or damaged separator tools.

Key Features:

• Stepped fork design lets one tool work across a range of stud and joint sizes
• Replacement format restores a worn or damaged pickle fork to working condition
• Hardened steel construction is built for the shock of use with a hammer
• Wedge-style action forces tapered joints apart so you can separate them without a dedicated puller
• Professional-grade quality from Lisle, a long-time maker of automotive specialty tools

Suited to professional shops and DIY mechanics doing suspension and steering repairs. Because a pickle fork can damage rubber boots and seals, it is best used when the joint or component is being replaced.
