I used this to separate the drag link from the pitman arm. The drag link popped out within a few mins once I got it locked into place. I had previously tried to use a pickle fork with no luck. The drag link was being very stubborn. To get this separator to fit, I had to disconnect the sway bar links on both ends (18 mm socket/wrench) and then rotated the sway bar and links up to get them out of the way. That gave me plenty of room to tap the separator into place and use my impact wrench. Thank goodness I decided to get this and the pickle fork just in case.

Lo compré como auto-regalo de navidad, solo lo había probado en autos chicos como Chevy o tsuru.
Hoy me llegó una Gran Cherokee para cambiar horquilla superior, hizo el trabajo sin problema y no le costó nada.
Gear wrench es calidad sin duda
