Review on 🔧 GEARWRENCH 3916D Ball Joint Separator: Efficient and Reliable Tool for Easy Auto Repair by Anthony Bandzz

I have been doing suspension work from time to time for years. The job almost always ends with me sitting in a pile of rusty shavings with a sledgehammer and tie rod fork and cursing more than a truck driver in a traffic jam. Finally the time came when my trusty 2001 RAV-4 needed some suspension work and it had well over 350,000 miles of wear and rust which made the job even more enjoyable. I needed a better solution. Enter this GearWrench tool. I ripped tires, disc and brakes off without breaking a sweat. And now she's my enemy. tie rod end. After a good half hour of breaking the crown nut in one fell swoop, I had to somehow knock that sucker out. Taking a deep breath, I put on this new device and tightened it with my fingers. So far, so good. Then this is where the magic happens. I fitted a 1 inch socket to my Beat and gave this tool some "ugga-dugg" and a CLIP! The tie rod burst with the force of an Oklahoma thunderstorm. I was overjoyed. I did the same on the other side. - exactly the same satisfying click. Then I looked at my lower ball joints - the first one burst with such force that it flew across the room, crushing my pinky in flight. upset. Again I made another lower ball joint - this time removing my hand. I have no idea where the ball joint went, but I'm sure it will pop out as I clean out the garage. This tool is pure magic, don't make a ball joint or tie rod end without it.
