after spending hrs with no success trying to get a LCA ball joint off I looked on ebay and found a pitman arm removal tool.

http://my.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&MyEbay=&CurrentPage=MyeBayWatching&gbh=1&guest=1

$33 express delivered, i had it the next day. 30 seconds it took to remove the ball joint ( grease the tool jaws to avoid damaging the boot.

I have just been using a ball joint tool from Supercheap. The jaws are a fraction too wide and I have had it slip on me, so if you can post up the link proper I'd be interested in having a look. It seems I am spending more and more time pulling Soarer suspension apart these days...

3rd for asking for the link proper instead of a link to "myebay" :-)

That's the one I bought, works a treat. I broke a set of the scissor type ones from supercheap before I bought this one, LCA ball joints were a breeze

Hmmph. That is identical to the one I have from Supercheap. Well looks identical, there may be small differences, but given the price I'd say they probably came out of the same factory in China somewhere.

It's a tool. If it varied too much it couldn't do the same job :-P
