Hello all,

I now need some ball joint splitting tools for disassembly of the bugs front end.

Does anyone know where I can get these in Brissy?

I have tried Glenfords, Supacheap, Autobahn and Repco in my area, they all had nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Put a scissor jack in between the arms, wind it out so it`s under tension and smack the shit out of the top knuckle in the spindle.
