Stop Hammering Your Strut Into the Knuckle
A seized steering knuckle turns a one-hour job into a five-hour fight — hammering, prying, and hoping you don't crack a $300 part in the process. This tool replaces the hammer with a screw: turn it, and the knuckle opens on its own. No swinging. No guessing. No damage.
You Already Know How This Job Usually Goes
The strut won't budge. The hammer strikes land wrong. Your hands ache, your ears ring, and two hours in, you're not sure if you're freeing the strut or destroying the knuckle. Some jobs feel less like repair work and more like a fight you're not sure you'll win.
Everything About This Tool Exists to Solve One Job Faster
- Screw-driven spread → You control the force, not the other way around.
- Dual guide-rail frame → It won't twist or bend under load.
- Heat-treated AISI 1045 steel → Built to outlast the job, not just survive it once.
- Double-ended design → One tool for both the strut knuckle and the ball-joint split.
- Universal fitment → Works across VW, Audi, BMW, Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, Mazda and others.
You got questions
We Got Answers!
Will this damage my knuckle?
No — that's the opposite of what it's built to do. Even, controlled pressure replaces the guesswork of a hammer or pry bar.
Do I need an impact gun, or will a hand wrench work?
Just a 10mm hand wrench. Controlled hand pressure is exactly what breaks the clamp free — no impact gun needed.
Will it bend if I push too hard?
Not with a hand wrench. Bending only happens when people use impact guns or breaker bars, which exceed the rated force on any spreader.
Will this fit my car?
Yes for VW, Audi, BMW, Mini, Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, Mazda, and similar pinch-bolt hubs. Check your knuckle style first if you drive something outside this list.
Does it stay in place while I turn the wrench?
Yes — the wide contact pad keeps it seated in the slot instead of slipping or popping out.
I've never done this before — is it hard to use?
No. Slide it in, turn the wrench, done.
Is it safe to use?
Yes — controlled, gradual pressure means no sudden release like a hammer or pry bar can cause.
Protects the Part You're Trying to Save
A hammer or pry bar doesn't know the difference between the strut and the knuckle it's trying to protect. This tool applies even pressure exactly where it's needed — so the knuckle you're removing the strut from, and the new strut going back in, both come out clean.
