Review on Universal Tie Rod End Separator With Damage-Free Removal - OEMTOOLS 27175 - Essential Tie Rod End Removal Tool by Ethan Delaney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Too small for '03 Dodge Caravan - swivel tip not in box

I replaced both CV axles and control arms on my Caravan and thought this tool would be perfect for removing the tie rod end from the steering knuckle.This tool was way too small to even come close to working (needed at least another inch of spread). Plus the swivel tip was missing from the box upon opening. Maybe I received a used one or maybe someone at the factory forgot to include the swivel tip.it happens.I'm not sure if this tool is large enough to work on anything other than a small car. It did seem to be built well.As always, Revain was great about the return process and issuing a refund.

Pros
  • worked for what intended
Cons
  • The separator may damage the tie rod end if not used properly
