Puller for Pins and Joints Silver 10964 — manual tool for removing ball joints and pins

Silver 10964 is a manual puller for pins and joints designed to extract ball joints, tie rod ends and similar press-fit components. The tool is intended for controlled, mechanical removal of press-fit connections in automotive suspension and steering systems, enabling extraction without applying excessive force to surrounding parts. It is a workshop-oriented hand tool compatible with standard manual repair procedures.

Advantages

The puller provides a compact, mechanically simple solution for removing press-fit pins and joints. Its design allows technicians to apply force precisely to the component being removed, reducing the risk of damage to housings, boots and adjacent components. The manual operation requires no external power source and supports repeated use in workshop maintenance and light repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Removing ball joints in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Extracting tie rod ends and similar suspension or steering press-fit parts
• Use in professional workshops and home garages for suspension servicing

When it may not be suitable

The puller is intended for manual use and may not be appropriate for very large or heavily corroded joints that require hydraulic or powered extraction. For components with extreme corrosion, seized fasteners, or non-standard sizes, a specialist hydraulic press or dedicated heavy-duty tool may be required.

Key specifications

• Operation: manual hand-operated extraction
• Intended targets: ball joints, tie rod ends and similar press-fit pins and joints
• Typical use case: suspension and steering system maintenance
• Construction: workshop-grade hand tool designed for repeated mechanical use

How to use

Position the puller so the contact points engage the pin or joint securely and align the forcing screw or extraction element with the component axis. Apply steady, controlled force by turning the drive mechanism until the joint is released from its seating. Inspect the joint and adjacent parts during extraction and stop if excessive resistance or deformation occurs. After removal, clean mating surfaces and inspect for wear before refitting replacement components.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the size and type of pins or joints you need to remove
• Assess whether manual extraction is sufficient for corroded or seized components
• Ensure the tool fits your standard workshop procedures and available workspace

Usage recommendations

Use the puller with steady, even force and appropriate hand tools; wear safety eyewear and gloves, support adjacent suspension components as needed, and consider penetrating lubricant for corroded parts to reduce the chance of damage during extraction.
