You don't really want a pickle fork separator, either - easy to damage ball joint gaiters with them. Not sure what access you have for the press style ones though.

£230 for a torque wrench is madness - for an amateur mechanic. I picked up a used Sealey one for less than £30 off eBay (3/4", can do 400nm).
you are right it is but I paid some 2k+ for a shot blaster, compressor and upgraded electrics last year and have used it once for about 20 minutes.
The work is still on my list of jobs to do and no doubt it will be winter before I get the time.
