Purchase options and add-ons

  • [APPLICATION]: The ball joint separator is used for separating the ball joint from the spindle support arm on front wheel drive vehicles, both domestic and import.
  • [QUALITY]: This set comes with a one piece alloy steel construction that ensures durability and strength to withstand the heavy duty hammering force transferred to automotive attachments in your home garage or work.

41 customers mention12 positive29 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the tool. They mention that the anvils don't fit tight into the brake line, allowing them to move around. The non-indented adapter does not quite fit the piston, and it's too big for motorcycle brake calipers. The wing nuts are impossible to get tight enough to grip the brakeline sufficiently, and the two nubs that go into the piston holes didn't work well.

"...1. chubby bubble; too tall using the factory designed depth gauge.2. cross section of the chubby bubble.3...." Read more

"...The one issue: you must tighten the wing nuts really tight...." Read more

"has most sizes in one kit. priced right and good quality. thanks!" Read more

"Made well and would work well but did not contain the size I needed for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT." Read more

Decent flare
4 Stars
Decent flare
You need to be careful that the pipe holder is straight and take your time. But with just a little practice a decent bubble flare is possible. Used copper nickel 3/16 brake pipe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works good, but not “out of the box”
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2021
I was pretty disappointed when I first opened the box and tried to use this tool, but with some tweaking it works fine. The first thing you need to know is that the instructions are wrong (see picture). The instructions say the die will have a recessed portion that should be your measurement for how far the brake line should protrude from the clamp. The die doesn’t have a recessed portion, and I found that the entire thickness of the base of the die is the correct measurement. Secondly, the arms of screw press are made of cast metal, and there is a casting ridge on the arms where they grab the tube clamp. This ridge needs to be filed flat, or the press will wobble to one side or the other as you tighten it down giving lopsided flares. Once I figured these two things out I can get factory-looking flares every time. The last thing is that you absolutely need to chamfer the inside and outside of the brake line before you try to flare it. I used a countersink drill bit to chamfer the inside, and a hand file to lightly chamfer the outside. If you do these things I’m sure this tool will work fine for you.
