Anglo American Tools announces its newest product from KUKKO, the KK145-2 Spreader Tool made specifically for the automotive industry. The KK145-2 Spreader Tool is designed to easily remove and replace shock absorber mountings and steering components (ball joints).
Many European car suspensions tightly hold ball joints in a split knuckle wheel bearing housing. Even after removing the pinch bolt/screw, the wheel bearing housing naturally has a great amount of pressure. Many mechanics would use chisels, screwdrivers, wedges or other means to pry open the split knuckle housing, which may cause personal injury or part damage. With the use of the new Kukko KK145-2 Spreader Tool, the split knuckle housing can be easily expanded for quick removal and replacement of the steering part. The Kukko KK145-2 Spreader Tool can also be left in the unit, which makes the replacement/installation process quick and easy.
To use the tool, first remove the pinch bolt from the split knuckle housing. Next take the KK145-2 Spreader Tool and insert the bottom metal base in between the split knuckle housing gap. Tighten the KK145-2 tool until the knuckle housing gap begins to open. Once there is enough space, the steering component can easily be removed and replaced.
The KUKKO KK145-2 Spreader Tool offers the following features:
- Safe, quick and easy ball joint removal/installation;
- No need to pry open with chisels, screwdrivers, wedges, etc., which may damage part or cause personal injury;
- Universal application for a variety of projects;
- Small and compact tool, which fits in tight areas; and
- Mechanical pressure spindle has milled thread and also has special Kukko coating for smooth operation.
The KK145-2 is the newest addition to the Kukko line of quality pullers and hand tools from Germany. To view the tool in action, visit the following link: http://www.bit.ly/KK145-2
