DAYUAN Pickle Fork Removal Kit 5-Piece — 3 Forks + 2 Handles, Chrome Vanadium Steel Case

DAYUAN's 5-piece pickle fork set is a complete ball joint, tie rod, and pitman arm separation kit with three interchangeable forks, two handles (for hammer and air hammer), and a protective carry case.

This professional-grade removal kit is built for mechanics and DIYers who need a reliable way to separate stubborn suspension and steering components without damaging threads or nearby parts. Each fork is made from chrome vanadium steel for strength and wear resistance, and the two handle options—knurled striking handle for conventional hammers and an adapter for air hammers—fit every fork to give you flexibility on the job. The compact molded case keeps everything organized and ready at the bench or in the truck.

How does this kit make removing ball joints and tie rods easier?

The kit provides purpose-made forks sized to match common suspension fittings so you can apply force cleanly where it’s needed. The piloted handles reduce shock to threaded components and let you choose between a conventional hammer or pneumatic impact tool depending on the situation.

• Ball joint separator with a 15/16" (23.8 mm) jaw for common stud sizes
• Tie rod spreader with an 11/16" (17.5 mm) wedge for inner and outer tie rod ends
• Pitman arm wedge with a 1-1/8" (28.6 mm) opening for larger steering arms
• Two handles: 7-3/4" knurled striking handle and 6-3/4" air-hammer adapter

Will these tools fit my hammer or air hammer?

Yes—both provided handles are designed to suit standard shop tools. The 7-3/4" knurled handle is meant for use with a conventional hammer, while the 6-3/4" adapter has a 0.401" shank to accept typical air-impact hammers.

• Knurled striking handle for controlled hand-hammer strikes
• Adapter handle with 0.401" shank fits most air hammers
• Both handles accept all three forks interchangeably
• Piloted design dampens impact to protect threaded parts

How durable and serviceable are the forks and handles?

Materials and construction focus on longevity for frequent shop use. Forks are forged from chrome vanadium steel to resist bending and wear; the handles are machined for secure fit and impact absorption, extending service life and reducing the chance of damaging component threads.

• Chrome vanadium steel forks for high tensile strength
• Piloted handles act as shock absorbers to protect threads
• Interchangeable mounting keeps parts versatile and replaceable
• Molded carrying case protects tools during transport and storage

What sizes and parts are included in the set?

The set includes three forks matched to common steering and suspension components plus two different handles to cover both manual and pneumatic removal methods. Everything nests in a compact case for easy storage and transport.

• Tie rod spreader: 11/16" (17.5 mm) wedge opening
• Ball joint separator: 15/16" (23.8 mm) jaw opening
• Pitman arm wedge: 1-1/8" (28.6 mm) opening
• 7-3/4" knurled striking handle and 6-3/4" air-hammer adapter, plus carry case
