I'm trying to replace the passenger side steering trackrod as it's bent, but I have 2 problems -
1. where is it safe to place axle stands? The obvious place looks like the main chassis rail just to the rear of the front wishbone mountings.
2. how difficult is it to remove the ball joints? I've just bent my 3 leg puller trying to remove the outer one, and there's no way I can get the puller on the inner one, so do I need to buy one of those fork things that you hammer into the joint? How hard should I hit it, gentle taps or just as hard as I can?
cheers
