🔹 How to Use

🔹 Step 1: Safely jack up the car and place it on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the suspension and ball joint.
🔹 Step 2: Loosen the nut on the ball joint just enough to leave a few threads on—this keeps the joint from flying off when it pops loose.
🔹 Step 3: Slide the forked end of the ball joint separator between the control arm and the ball joint. Make sure it’s fully seated and aligned straight.
🔹 Step 4: Use a heavy hammer (like a 2–3 lb sledge) to hit the end of the separator fork. A few solid blows should pop the ball joint loose. Once it's free, remove the nut completely and take the joint out.
