Abstract: An adapter for a ball stud separator tool may include a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body may include a threaded end and a mating end oppositely facing the threaded end. A plurality of adapter threads may be recessed into the cylindrical body proximate the threaded end and may be configured to threadably receive a plurality of ball stud threads of a ball stud. A flared cylindrical wall may be recessed into the cylindrical body proximate the mating end. The flared cylindrical wall may terminate at a curved seat disposed in the cylindrical body.

Abstract: A torque measurement tool measures the rolling torque of a bearing. The tool includes a bar weldment including a scale bar and a centered socket, and further includes a pair of slides slidably engaging the scale bar. Each slide has a thumb screw lock to fix a selected location and a rod adapted to engage the rotatable portion of the preloaded bearing (or engage a component attached thereto). A related method includes adjusting the slides to engage rods of the torque measurement tool with a rotatable bearing portion in a balanced condition, and using a torque wrench to obtain a reading of the torque required to move the rotatable bearing portion.
