alpac,
do a search on this forum, I came across a thread a couple of weeks ago, there someone had listed the tools you can get from harbor freight for the job. good luck and keep us posted.

I was referring to the C-clamp press tool/Ball joint puller



Pitch fork can ruin the rubber boot. If you're working on a tie rod and you use the pitch fork with some force, alignment will be affected.
