Troubleshooting
Tool fails to separate ball joint
Ensure the jaw is correctly positioned on the ball joint. If using the mechanical screw, check for adequate thread engagement. Consider using a hydraulic ram for increased force. Verify no obstructions are present.
Force screw becomes difficult to turn or stripped
The force screw is a consumable and may be worn. Clean and lubricate the threads. If damage is evident, replace the force screw with part number 60439.
