Pops tie rod ends like a corkscrew pops wine bottle corks...
I had to remove my car's entire hub assembly and replace with a salvaged hub assembly. I found out that removing the tie rod screw from the hub knuckle is a real bear. I initially tried a Harbor Freight adjustable extraction tool and it broke (long story). Luckily, I ordered this prior to the HF tool from Amazon Marketplace and received it in just a couple days via USPS.The tool was amazingly easy to use... just place bottom over knuckle and use a 3/8 or 1/2 ratchet and a (11 mm?) socket and the fine threading on middle screw slowly pushes the tie rod bolt out of knuckle. If you've never done this before, trust me, it's not easy to do unless you're willing to trash the tie rod end (with a pickle fork). Remember, though, if you damage the tie rod, not only is it another approx. $20 - $50, but reinstalling tie rod could lead to the need for an alignment.A long story short, I highly recommend a Pitman Arm Puller for tie rod removal and I highly recommend this...

Excellent addition to the tool box.
I purchased this to change the steering damper on a 1999 TJ Wrangler. It does everything you would expect. Looks & feels nicely made.The threaded bold has a sharp protrusion that you can just see in the picture... it really helped keeping things square until it popped.I had to really lean on this to pop the joint. There was a loud bang when it went.The bolt showed no sign of wear after this.Should last for years!

Lisle Pitarm puller
I have a 1995 s10 with the steering box leaking at the pit arm shaft, So, I need a good puller, and I'm glad that I spent the extra money and bought Lisle. I also went buy the recommendations of others on amazon for this puller. I look at the cheaper pit pullers @ harbor freight and auto store for 15 bucks, and they don't look has thick has the Lisle. It took a 33mm socket for the nut if anyone needs to know, I already had a craftsman 1/2 in drive breaker bar and it held up well,( I don't think a cheap breaker bar will hold up) and I to use a 4 ft. long pipe on the breaker bar and along with blaster on the nut and pit arm. Well the nut was the hardest thing to get off. I applied a little grease to open end of the pit arm shaft to help the Lisle turn easier. The pit arm came off easy for me.
