I assume that by "ball joint/tie rod seperator", you are refering to a "pickle-fork"?
If so, I would recommend against that. Those things are very hard on the rubber boots that seal the grease in the joint. It's fine if you are taking it apart to replace the joint, but if you intend to put the same joints back together? not so good, it tears the rubber.
It is far better to "pop" them apart with a hammer blow to the side of the fitting.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
