A 1/2 drive breaker bar will work fine to loosen the axle nut, just use a cheater bar. I use the handle to my floor jack. A chair leg will work as well.

If anyone's looking for one of xviper's $15 ball joint tools, it's called a "Pitman Arm Puller". Check out

[QUOTE=mikdys,Aug 18 2004, 09:26 AM] I have found this to work on other cars in the past (but I have bought a threaded ball joint breaker since!).

You won't see any movement of the ball joint when using the puller. The puller will get tight like your tightening a bolt, then qiuckly pop.

Yers, DO NOT use the standard fork-style. I learned the hard way.
