A surgical tool for separating a femoral cup or a femoral ball from an implanted femoral implant comprising: an upper lever arm and a lower lever arm, the upper lever arm having an upper arm proximal end and an upper arm distal end and the lower lever arm having a lower lever arm proximal end and a lower lever arm distal end; a fulcrum disposed between the proximal and distal ends of the lever arms, the lever arms being in contact at the fulcrum; a femoral cup or femoral ball engagement fork disposed at the distal end of the upper lever arm; a femoral implant engagement fork disposed at the distal end of the lower lever arm; a drive assembly comprising a rod having a threaded proximal portion and a knob rotatably threaded thereon, wherein the lever arms (4,5) are separated by an adjustable distance and the fulcrum is comprised of a ridge which cooperates with a rotating turret wherein rotation of the turret allows adjustment of the distance by which the lever arms (4,5) are separated; characterized in that the rod further comprises a pivot pin at its distal end pivotably attached to the proximal end of the lower lever arm, the upper lever arm having a drive assembly engagement fork at its proximal end, the drive assembly engagement fork being adapted to receive the rod disposed between the knob and the pivot pin; wherein one end of a turret spring is biased against a cylindrical upper edge of the rotating turret while the other end is affixed to the upper lever arm; and wherein the drive assembly is adapted to cause the proximal ends of the lever arms to move toward one another by means of rotation of the knob when the rod is disposed in the drive assembly engagement fork, thereby causing the distal ends of the lever arms to move away from one another as the lever arms turn on the fulcrum; and the rotating turret has two or more flat portions in parallel with an underside of the upper lever arm, each flat portion being a different distance from said underside. an upper lever arm and a lower lever arm, the upper lever arm having an upper arm proximal end and an upper arm distal end and the lower lever arm having a lower lever arm proximal end and a lower lever arm distal end; a fulcrum disposed between the proximal and distal ends of the lever arms, the lever arms being in contact at the fulcrum; a femoral cup or femoral ball engagement fork disposed at the distal end of the upper lever arm; a femoral implant engagement fork disposed at the distal end of the lower lever arm; a drive assembly comprising a rod having a threaded proximal portion and a knob rotatably threaded thereon, wherein the lever arms (4,5) are separated by an adjustable distance and the fulcrum is comprised of a ridge which cooperates with a rotating turret wherein rotation of the turret allows adjustment of the distance by which the lever arms (4,5) are separated; characterized in that the rod further comprises a pivot pin at its distal end pivotably attached to the proximal end of the lower lever arm, the upper lever arm having a drive assembly engagement fork at its proximal end, the drive assembly engagement fork being adapted to receive the rod disposed between the knob and the pivot pin; wherein one end of a turret spring is biased against a cylindrical upper edge of the rotating turret while the other end is affixed to the upper lever arm; and wherein the drive assembly is adapted to cause the proximal ends of the lever arms to move toward one another by means of rotation of the knob when the rod is disposed in the drive assembly engagement fork, thereby causing the distal ends of the lever arms to move away from one another as the lever arms turn on the fulcrum; and the rotating turret has two or more flat portions in parallel with an underside of the upper lever arm, each flat portion being a different distance from said underside.
