yes, of course, Kyu... you're welcome to borrow my balljoint separater, though Andrew's is closer! :)

I have a fork-type - insert into the joint and slug it with a big hammer.
Probably the same distance as Andrew... (But closer than Olaf! ;) )

We may be moving a little further south, to help cover the gap between here and Wellington.

Just use a hammer, and the tie rod will drop out.

That's often enough.
Sometimes though, the previous gorilla, sorry - owner, has got a bit enthusiastic when tightening the nut on the top, and I've found I can't get enough swing with a lump hammer to get it out!

I need to practice my Bruce Lee-style 1" hammer action. :)
