FAQs

A fork is driven between the arm and the joint and almost always tears the boot. A splitter squeezes the taper out with a screw and leaves the boot intact, so a serviceable joint stays serviceable.

A fork is quicker and cheaper where the joint is scrap anyway. The splitter earns its place when the joint is only coming apart to release a hub or an arm.

The gap the jaws will span across the joint, not the ball diameter. The splitters here run 14mm, 16.5mm, 19mm and 20mm, and one that will not close on the joint applies no load at all.

With a long reach splitter at 400mm, which puts the jaws well beyond the hand. That covers joints behind a shield or a driveshaft where a standard body cannot be positioned.

An air hammer kit shocks the taper rather than pressing it, which breaks the friction where a screw simply loads up. The 5 piece kit suits both air hammer and ball pein hammer use.

Yes, in packs of 6 assorted for cars and 3 for commercial vehicles, which matters where the joint is being kept and the boot was disturbed getting it apart.

How the joint is separated decides whether it can be used again. A fork separator is driven between the arm and the joint and forces them apart, which almost always tears the boot. A scissor splitter squeezes the taper out with a screw and leaves the boot intact, so a serviceable joint stays serviceable.

That makes the method the first decision rather than the size. If the joint is being replaced anyway, a fork is quicker and cheaper. If it is coming apart only to release a hub or an arm, a splitter is the tool that avoids turning one job into two. Sykes hold heavy duty ball joint pullers at 170mm above both forms.

Jaw opening then has to clear the joint. The splitters here run 14mm, 16.5mm and 19mm up to 20mm, and the figure refers to the gap the jaws will span rather than the ball diameter. A splitter that will not close on the joint applies no load at all. Draper hold separators and pullers at 19mm with two-stage and Expert bodies alongside.

Reach covers the joints set deep in an arch behind a shield or a driveshaft, with a 400mm long reach splitter for exactly that. Air hammer kits shock the taper loose where a screw cannot be turned, and dust covers go back on the joints being kept. For an unfamiliar arrangement, a photo to 07754288583 on WhatsApp identifies the tool. A two-stage separator applies load in two steps, which suits a taper that has not moved under a single squeeze.
