Orion Motor Tech 2-in-1 Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool & Ball Joint Separator Kit — Compact mechanic-grade, includes 21 mm socket

Orion Motor Tech's OMT 2-in-1 kit is a combined inner tie rod removal tool and ball joint separator set built to remove and install a wide range of tie rods and ball joints on most cars and light trucks.

This compact, mechanic-grade set merges two frequently needed suspension tools into one package so you can tackle inner tie rods and ball joints without swapping multiple specialty tools. It includes both clamp styles used for different inner tie-rod designs, two adjustable separators for varied joint sizes, a 21 mm socket, and hardened hardware engineered for repeatable leverage and long life.

Which inner tie rod types will this set work on?

The kit covers both common inner tie-rod end designs. A bolt-on clamp is sized for smooth-end inner rods so you can clamp on without removing the outer tie rod first, while a compression-style clamp fits hex-ended inner tie rods across a broad range of sizes.

• Bolt-on clamp for smooth shank inner tie rods (fits 3/8 in drive)
• Compression clamp compatible with 27–44 mm hex-style inner tie rods
• Works on most passenger cars and light trucks
• Includes 21 mm socket for drive attachment

How do the ball joint separators adapt to different vehicles?

The separators feature removable pins and an adjustable opening to accept varied joint widths and depths. One separator offers a larger 1.1–2.1 inch adjustable spread for common suspension joints, while the additional shorter separator handles shallower or tighter-fitting joints.

• Adjustable opening from 1.1 to 2.1 inches on the main separator
• Extra separator with 0.8 inch depth for compact joints
• Removable pins let you change configuration quickly
• Designed for both pressed-in and tapered ball joints

What features deliver reliable grip and leverage?

The bolt-on clamp uses internal teeth to bite into the inner tie rod for a secure hold while you turn with a wrench or extension, reducing slippage. All load-bearing components are made from heat-treated AISI 1045 steel and black-oxide pins to resist wear and handle repeated high-torque pulls.

• Inner teeth on the bolt-on clamp for secure engagement
• AISI 1045 cold-forged, heat-treated construction for strength
• Black oxide coated pins to extend service life under leverage
• Designed to work with common 3/8 in drive tools and hand wrenches

How easy is it to use this set in a home or professional shop?

The kit is packaged to minimize setup time and reduce the number of tool swaps when servicing tie rods and ball joints. Quick-change pins and the included socket let you get into position and apply steady force, while the two clamp options let you choose the fastest, least-invasive approach for the job.

• Includes a 21 mm socket to attach to drive tools immediately
• Quick-change clamps and pins for efficient workflow
• Compact components fit into a mechanic’s toolbox or service cart
• Clear coverage of most suspension sizes avoids additional purchases

Who is this for?

This Orion Motor Tech 2-in-1 inner tie rod removal and ball joint separator set is aimed at DIY enthusiasts, mobile mechanics, and professional technicians who need a versatile, durable kit to service steering and suspension components on a variety of cars and light trucks. If you want to avoid removing outer tie rods unnecessarily, reduce tool changes during a repair, and rely on hardened steel parts for repeated use, this set is designed to meet those needs.
