Re: Puller for steering ball joints

[john althaus <althausjbl@xxxxxxx>]

There was an old puller in the dealer manual, it works much better  than a 
fork. A friend that had a 65 A990 had one, it now resides in my tool  box.  
It looks much like a two leg puller but much tighter on the spread.  Not 
sure where you would find one today.

I've  been unable to break loose the 4 ball joints on my steering cross
bar ( or  whatever it's called ) - I've tried a couple of pullers I
have but they  just don't fit well enough to do the job.

Is there a special  puller/tool for these things?

I need to drop the oil pan to see if my  oil pickup is once again
filled with black silicone goo - this from a few  years ago when during
the Power Tour my son and I broke 3 distributor  shafts due to the lame
brain mechanic who sealed up my oil pan with half a  tube of the stuff
:-(

Oh, and by the way ... whilst under the car  today I noticed my power
steering pump is leaking through where the front  cover is maybe
pressed into the case?  Is corroded pretty bad - are  these things
still available, or should I consider switching to manual  steering?

Thanks in advance,
