ROOKS Separator, cross-piece spacer

ROOKS Separator, switch point spreader – a tool for spreading clamps and joint fixings | OK-02.1001

The ROOKS OK-02.1001 is a practical separator and steering knuckle spreader designed to spread the clamping holes of axial joints and ball joint mountings. The tool facilitates the fitting and removal of suspension components, particularly in areas where it is necessary to open the clamp in a controlled manner without damaging the joint housing.

The spreader is made of durable alloy steel, making it suitable for use in workshop conditions. The tool’s design allows it to be used from both sides, whilst the screw adjustment enables the spreading force to be precisely adjusted. This solution reduces the risk of slippage and helps to ensure safe working with components made of cast iron or aluminium.

Key product features:

• A differential separator and spreader designed to spread clamping holes and joint mountings during suspension servicing.
• Facilitates assembly and disassembly – helps to disconnect components more quickly and conveniently without using makeshift tools that could damage the housing.
• Can be used from either side – the tool’s design enhances user comfort and allows the working method to be better adapted to the installation location.
• Precise adjustment of the spread – the screw allows for controlled spreading of the clamp, reducing the risk of slippage during use.
• Protection for the joint housing – the tool helps prevent damage to cast or aluminium components.
• High-strength alloy steel – this robust material ensures durability and resistance to the stresses encountered during workshop use.

Application:

The ROOKS OK-02.1001 spreader is ideal for work on steering knuckles, axle joints, ball joints and suspension components that require the mounting clamp to be spread apart.

The tool is designed for mechanics, car service centres, suspension workshops, tyre service centres and users carrying out chassis repairs. The spreader will be useful for the removal and fitting of joints, pins and components mounted in the steering knuckle clamps.
