Why this one
Designed for ball joint removal
This tool is purpose-built as a ball joint removal tool, letting you drive the wedge between the joint stud and the knuckle or control arm to break the taper lock quickly.
Works as a pickle fork
Drive this fork-style wedge with a standard hammer to separate stubborn, corroded, or seized connections.
Tie rod end and steering linkage service
Use this tool as a tie rod removal tool to pop inner and outer tie rod ends free from steering knuckles.
Pitman arm and suspension work
Double as a pitman arm puller wedge for separating pitman arms, idler arms, and other tapered-stud linkage connections encountered during front-end rebuilds.
Practical single-size format
Purchasing one dedicated size means you replace only the fork that wears out instead of discarding or shelving an entire multi-piece set.
Read the full description
When a tapered ball-joint stud refuses to release, a purpose-built fork wedge is the fastest way to break it free. This Teng Tools unit features a 29 mm jaw opening designed to slip between the joint housing and the mating component, concentrating hammer-driven force directly onto the taper lock.
The forked tines deliver reliable splitting action on standard-duty connections found throughout passenger-car and light-truck suspension and steering systems. Whether you are popping a corroded stud loose from a knuckle or freeing a linkage arm from its tapered seat, the wedge geometry does the work so you are not prying with screwdrivers or pickle-stabbing with the wrong tool.
Weighing 881 g, the tool balances mass for impact absorption with a profile compact enough to reach into crowded underbody spaces. It is sold individually so you can add or replace exactly the opening width you need without duplicating sizes already in your toolbox.
This is a professional-grade splitter built for repeated use in shops that perform routine suspension overhauls, steering rebuilds, and alignment prep. Keep one on your cart and reach for it every time a tapered stud needs to come apart.
