TOMMARS Ball Joint Removal Tool Set, Tie Rod End Pitman Arm Puller

Really good set of tie rod seperating tools. I do a lot of my automobile maintenance at home to save money on paying a shop to repair basic issues and routine maintenance with our cars or truck. I had found the right side steering tie rod dust boot was coming apart when doing an oil change and a under body inspection for oil leaks, water leaks, or rotten hoses. I like to visually inspect a lot of stuff when I have the car off the gorund for a shceduled motor oil change. I ordered a set of steering tie rod bellows dust boots to replace the bad boot but didn't have a tool to seperate the tie rod, beating it off with a hammer just seemed to me it would damage it and cost more to repair. I bought the set of three ball joint seperating tools because I was not not sure of which one would work. I'm glad I did, this set had one of the three that fit perfect and worked great. It seperated the tapered shaft of the tie rod end, and really sped up replacing the dust boot. No instructions came with it but it is pretty easy to figure out how to use it, just watch a few videos to see how the pros do it. With jacking up the car and putting it on jack stand, take the wheel off, disassembly and reassembly to putting the car back on the ground I had about 2 hours of total time in the repair. I am glad I bought this set. Tools seem to be of good quality and at a fair price. This set of three tools was cheaper than buying one tool locally at a parts store. It saved me at least an estimated $200.00 labor charges at the auto repair shop. Plus I did not have to loose time dropping the car off to let a shop make the repair and then having to pick up the car. Saved time, gas, millage and money for me. Now that I have this set when the boot on the other side goes bad I can change it at home and save more money by DIY. I bought a set of two boots cheaper than buying one locally so that saved more money and I have the part on hand when I need to replace the other side. Major repairs I do take the vehicle to the shop but by doing the smaller repairs and routine maintenance at home myself really helps when I pay the expensive big repairs costs offset by my savings a lot better to afford. Helps a working man afford to spend better and put more money in our savings account for sure. I like this set.

Needed this to help remove the control arms on my 2000 Boxster that I am about to replace. Very happy with this purchase. It will work perfectly.

Assisted with separating a tough steering ball joint linkage. Nice to have a sec with a couple different options for those tough to access spots. For the price they are reasonably well made.

Saved my life while changing out ball joints and tie rod ends. Worked flawlessly, I only ended up using the larger tool.

Excelente muy Buenos gracias.

Garbage. Used this once and the threads stripped out. Waste money on something else

I used the separator on my outer tie rod on 2015 Altima. So easy to pop Bolt out of Steering knuckle/Spindle. YES, Buy this. Watch on YOUTUBE how to

Seemed sturdy. The jaws snapped on the larger separator of the three. I’m going to try pitman pull arm next and see if it’s a better suit. I would just be careful about the fitment of your tool to the knuckle and joint when using.

It doesn't do the job for many cars
