I've gotta replace upper ball joints, and outter tie rod ends. But just a few weeks later, I will have to take apart the front end again for a shock swap (getting rebuilt). I don't want to damage the ball joints, and suspect that smacking with a hammer won't pop loose a new joint.
Anyone use these little two jawed pullers? Do they cause any damage at all? |

I've used a 2 jaw puller on tie rod ends before, no problem. The boot stays intact.
Ball joints.... Same thing. Only I think I used a pitman arm puller. Same 2 jaw approach, just sturdier. |
