Car Claw Strut Spreader Tool for Ball Joint Removal, Manual Suspension Separator
Introducing the Car Claw Strut Spreader Tool – a precise, hand-operated suspension separator designed to safely disassemble ball joints and separate the spring strut from the wheel hub bearing housing. Built for pinch-bolt style hubs found on a wide range of popular vehicles, this tool helps you work efficiently without damaging sensitive components. Crafted from high-quality 40CR steel, it combines durability with a compact, easy-to-handle design for focused, controlled operation.
The tool operates by opening and expanding the gap at the wheel hub bearing seat, enabling a clean, parallel-pressure spread that minimizes slippage or ejection during use. Its outside hex drive (16 mm) gives you robust, reliable control, while the parallel pressure work surface distributes force evenly to protect critical parts. This is the ideal disassembly/installation companion for mechanics who value safety, precision, and repeatable results.
All electronic and mechanical equipment, devices and machines sold by InterCyprus to EU countries are CE certified and carry a two year warranty.
Benefits & Tips
- Safe, controlled separation – Use the tool to gently expand the strut area and free the ball joint from the wheel hub without levering or prying metal surfaces, reducing the risk of damage.
- Wide compatibility – Designed for cars equipped with pinch bolt style hubs and compatible with models including VW, BMW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Ford, Citroën, Renault, Peugeot, and more. Always verify fitment by matching the 16 mm drive and spread range to your vehicle.
- Practical workflow – Place the horn separator in the middle of the shock absorber ram strut, rotate with a 17 mm wrench to hold the slit open, adjust, then reverse rotation to remove. The tool’s design helps you complete the job with fewer steps and less effort.
