      Wasn't fancy, but did the job of separating the upper ball joint on my Ford F-150. It took a beating, but the joint came apart with this tool.

              I tried several other tools and used this tool (and a little heat) as a last resort. It popped the ball joint out in a snap.

                  • Q:

                    Will this separator tool work on a 98 Subaru Legacy ball joint b/c the ball joint is relatively small and this fork has a 15/16" opening? Seems like the other fork offered for tie-rod end joints w/ 21/32" opening might be a better fit/choice.
