A cracking apparatus has a pair of spreaders to be placed in a joint hole defined in a larger end of a connecting rod, a wedge that is pressed in between the spreaders, a preloading mechanism for imparting a preload to the wedge, and a loading mechanism for imparting an impact load to the wedge in the direction in which the wedge is pressed, by energizing a rotational drive source and transmitting rotational drive power from the rotational drive source through a shaft connected to the wedge, after the preload has been applied to the wedge by the preloading mechanism.
