I have posted several times regarding the ease of removing ball joints and tie rods (without damage to the joint OR the boot) using a "Fulcrum Type" separator and have each time received a number of requests for a description of the tool and its manufacturer.

The link below will take you to a photo album where I posted pictures of the tool(Auto Repair Tools). Eventually I'll post shots of other useful tools I've come across that I especially like.

By comparing the tool to the BMW Roundel, you can get an idea of the actual size.

You may paste the below line into your browser to see the web site of one manufacturer, Sykes-Pickavant, who made mine. I've used mine for 20 years and highly recommend it!
