I think it fitted through the axle/spindle hole and enabled me to put some serious pressure on to get the old joints out. You'll have to get your's on your press and see what will work for you.

Hi Bill! Thanks for the reply! Sorry about so many questions but i have never dissasembled one of these yet.

When the time gets here, and i say that cause i just hurt my knee so need to heal, i'll dig into my scrap pile and see what i have to use with the press.

The fork i have is good for the tie rods, don't know if i'll need a larger pickle fork untill i can get back out there and check.
