Puller for ball joint fork 18 mm Jonnesway AN010046

Jonnesway AN010046 is a fork-style puller with an 18 mm opening, designed to remove ball joints, tie-rod ends and similar press-fit components. The tool's forked jaw provides secure contact around the joint to enable controlled extraction without damaging adjacent suspension parts. It is intended for use in workshops and automotive repair environments where precise separation of ball joints is required.

Advantages

The fork design concentrates force at the contact points to reduce slippage and allow targeted removal. A compact 18 mm fork width fits common ball joint studs and tie-rod ends, enabling work in confined spaces. Constructed for workshop use, the puller offers consistent performance when used with compatible presses or ball joint separator methods.

Suitable for

• Removing ball joints on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Extracting tie-rod ends and steering linkage components
• Use with hydraulic or mechanical presses and separator tools in workshops
• Maintenance and suspension repair tasks requiring controlled separation

Key specifications

• Fork opening: 18 mm suitable for standard ball joint studs
• Fork-style (jaw) design for targeted contact and extraction
• Material and finish: workshop-grade steel construction for durability
• Compact profile to access joints in tight suspension assemblies

How to use

Position the forked jaw around the ball joint stud so the fork legs sit securely on each side of the joint. Align the puller with the pressing or extracting force so that the load is applied evenly through the fork. Use a hydraulic or mechanical press, or a compatible separator tool, to push the joint out of its housing while holding the fork in place. Inspect the joint area after removal to ensure no surrounding components were damaged and clean contact surfaces before installing a replacement part.

Usage recommendations

Before use, confirm the fork opening matches the ball joint or tie-rod stud diameter. Wear appropriate safety equipment and follow press or separator tool manufacturer instructions. If excessive resistance is present, verify alignment and consider applying penetrating lubricant to the joint before applying higher extraction forces.
