Astro Tools 78620A Ball Joint Puller Remover — Subaru Compatible | AP Astro Pneumatic

Overview

Introducing the Astro Tools 78620A Ball Joint Puller Remover, a purpose-built solution designed to tackle stubborn Subaru ball joints with practical confidence. Built for durability and precise control, this tool helps you approach seized, rusted, or corroded bolt-in joints with a steady, focused pull. Its thoughtful design is intended to perform reliably in real-world workshop conditions, whether you’re a professional technician or a dedicated DIYer.

Designed for Subaru vehicles

Engineered for compatibility with a broad range of Subaru models, including Baja (2003+), Forester (1998+), Impreza (1993+), Legacy (1990+), Outback (2000+), and more. This focus helps you keep the job streamlined by reducing tool swaps or adjustments mid-project.

How it works and where you can use it

Operate the puller directly on jack stands using a deep 24mm socket paired with your impact or hand wrench. For added leverage, the kit includes a 5/8-18 thread adapter that works with common slide hammers, expanding your options when you need extra force beyond a standard pull.

Key design benefits

• Sliding pin enables a clean pulling motion while resisting rotation, helping keep the joint stud from spinning.
• Non-rotating action reduces the risk of ball joint breakage during removal, especially with stubborn joints.
• Rugged construction supports repeated use on challenging joints, with precise tolerances for reliable operation.
