Separating a tie rod end from a steering knuckle without damaging the stud or ball joint takes the right geometry between tool and fastener. All Classic Parts' tie rod end separator puts a live-swivel center tip at the business end of a 3/4-inch (19mm) separator, keeping the tool automatically aligned with the stud throughout the press operation so force goes where it belongs.
Live swivel tip prevents collateral damage. The center tip pivots to self-align as pressure builds, eliminating the cocked-tool scenario that mushrooms stud threads or craters a ball joint boot. The result is a clean separation with hardware that can be reused or replaced on your own terms.
Built for the full range of modern front-end geometry. The tool targets imports and front-wheel-drive vehicles, including SUVs running rack-and-pinion steering, where tight packaging makes a dedicated separator far safer than a pickle fork and a hammer. If it has a tie rod end, this tool reaches it.
Straightforward working principle. The 19mm separator fits the standard tie rod end pocket, and the live center tip adapts to minor angular variation between the tool axis and the stud, so setup is quick and consistent job after job.
