Default Back to the inner balljoint problem

Yes, I have just the thing. It's not large so can be used under the car on axle stands. It's also adjustable, good quality and not expensive at all.

Sykes Pickavant 0830 0000

Once set-up, which is fiddly due to the essential articulated arm adjustment, this puller had my balljoint taper released in one minute without the risk of damage through hammering or the use of fork balljoint splitters.

I hope that this is useful to folks in future.
