Re: Tie Rod Separation Tools?

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's the same style of tool that Harbor Freight sells. It works
quite well, just don't overload it as you WILL break it (I've killed
3).

Just load it up a little bit and wait for the bang. If it doesn't seem
to be working, heat the spindle head up a little and stand back
