Abstract

A tool for gaining leverage and facilitating the removal of a motor vehicle's ball joints during service. The tool comprises a bar with a gusset that provides for an attachable/detachable tool head that may be rotated 180 degrees, set to a left or right hook, and or moved in placement from front to back of the bars end. Additionally the present invention has a chain hookup set for gaining better access to the ball joints and a removable foam cover to provide for a more comfortable use while straddling the bar.
