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.

well I would prefer the other 'push' method I think, I dont want to use more force than I need to. Cant remember the name of the other stlye of BJ tool.

a copper hammer and make sure your holding your tounge in the right position.

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.

Use a LARGE hammer always works for me.....
never owned a splitter in working on VWs for obver 35 years.
