Each fork is forged from chrome vanadium steel for long life and stored in a molded carrying case so the set is ready for professional garages or home mechanics. Two handles — a knurled striking handle for hand hammers and an adapter for air hammers — fit every fork, and piloted construction reduces impact stress on threaded parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these forks make separating ball joints and tie rods simpler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forks are shaped and sized to wedge between pressed components and use percussive force to dislodge them safely without cutting. Interchangeable design means one pair of handles drives all three forks, reducing tool swapping during repairs. Durable alloy steel resists bending and holds up under repeated hammer blows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall joint separator: 15\/16\" (23.8 mm) jaw opening for common ball studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTie rod spreader: 11\/16\" (17.5 mm) wedge opening for most ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePitman arm wedge: 1-1\/8\" (28.6 mm) opening for larger linkages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterchangeable forks stored inside a rugged carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the two handles do and when should I use each?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a 7-3\/4\" knurled striking handle for controlled blows with a conventional hammer and a 6-3\/4\" adapter handle sized for air-impact hammers. Use the knurled handle when you need tactile feedback and gradual force; switch to the adapter with pneumatic tools for quicker, repetitive separations. Both handles are piloted to absorb shock and protect threaded tips and operator hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-3\/4\" knurled handle: for hand hammer strikes and precise tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-3\/4\" adapter handle: fits air hammers for faster removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePiloted shank reduces vibration transfer to threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoth handles accept all three forks for tool economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these tools durable enough for professional use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the components are built from chrome vanadium steel, a material widely used where toughness and impact resistance are required. Heat-treated and finished to resist corrosion, the forks maintain shape under repeated loads and the handles are machined for positive fit and longevity. The carrying case keeps parts organized and protected between jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome vanadium construction resists bending and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-treated fork geometry preserves wedge and jaw profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCase protects tools from tool chest clutter and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for repeated hammer and air-tool impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this best for? The DAYUAN 5-piece pickling fork and tie rod removal kit suits professional mechanics, mobile technicians, and serious DIYers who work on steering and suspension systems. If you routinely remove ball joints, tie rods, or pitman arms and want a compact, durable set with both hand and air-hammer options, this kit gives clear, interchangeable tooling and protective handles to speed jobs and reduce damage risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What sizes are included in this 5-piece kit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Includes tie rod spreader 11\/16\", ball joint separator 15\/16\", pitman arm wedge 1-1\/8\", plus two handles and a carrying case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use the handles with an air hammer?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the 6-3\/4\" adapter handle fits air-impact hammers while the 7-3\/4\" knurled handle is for regular hammers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"DAYUAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55163262632279,"sku":"B08M611VRD","price":55.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/dayuan-front-view-kit-open.jpg?v=1790342703","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/dayuan-pickle-fork-and-tie-rod-removal-set-5-piece-chrome-vanadium-carry-case-2-handles","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
