Highlights: Made in Germany Perfect for: Pressing out ball pins when removing ball joints pressing out tie rod ends on tie rods. Reduces the chances of damaging surrounding parts. Simple yet effective operation. The Kukko 128-2 ball joint press is engineered for automotive disassembly tasks, especially in tight spaces where control and part preservation matter. Its compact form and German-made quality support efficient servicing of steering and suspension components. This ball joint removal tool features a 23 mm fork opening, giving it versatility across various tie rod and ball pin dimensions. The tool withstands a max torque of 120 Nm and applies up to 70 kN of tensile force, providing consistent press-out strength without overstressing parts. With a 17 mm hex socket interface, it integrates easily into standard workshop setups. The 0.52 kg weight keeps it portable while maintaining a rigid body structure. This specific ball joint tool also minimizes surface damage during use and enables clean, repeatable extractions without requiring excessive effort. Its surface is treated with KUKKoating, a galvanization finish that avoids chrom VI and provides self-healing corrosion resistance. Replacement parts are widely available, and the product meets REACH, RoHS, POP, PROP65, and TSCA standards. Built for service longevity, the Kukko 128-2 ball joint press supports frequent use in a range of repair environments. Features: Most components available as replacement parts. Sturdy design, high performance and long service life. KUKKoating: Self-healing corrosion protection for galvanized parts (WITHOUT chrom VI).
