Your cart is empty. Lower Control Arm Prying Tool
Under the hood and undercar special service tools for the modern technician everything you need to service a vehicle or motorcycle
Material:
heavy duty steel, will not bend
Package includes:
3 pack lower control arm prying tool
Instructions:
1. Get a long pry bar, strong rod or pipe at least 1.5 times the length of the lower control arm.
2. Remove ball joint nut (or slacken if you don't have space) and free up ball joint stud from steering knuckle by your regular method.
3. Hang the hook on the lower control arm (the hole should be below. The side you choose will depend on the shape of the arm to gain more leverage but it will work on either side if you complete the 3rd step properly).
4. Pass your pry bar (or any strong bar/pipe) through the hole.
5. Ensure the other end of the pry bar connects properly with the inned part of the lower control arm, so it won't slip.
6. Pry downward on the handle of pry bar until the ball joint stud is out of the steering knuckle. . (If there was not enough space to remove the ball joint nut before, back it off, all the way at this step, until you can push the control arm down enough. )
7. Pull/push steering knuckle away from ball joint while maintaining a downward force on the pry bar.
When reinstalling the arm to the steering knuckle, follow steps 2 to 5.
Notes:
1. You also need a pry bar to make use of this control arm removal tool.
2. It's ability to slip right over the arm because of the open side in the tool, can also present a risk for slipping. So long as you pay attention though, I'd say you're good.
3. You'd have to have the car at least 3 feet in the air for it to do any good

These so should work well for the intended purpose. I got them for a different use and have been a handy addition. My largest sized pry bar won't fit through the hole so only 3 stars.

This tool makes ball joint separation easy. Really strong resists bending.
