Title: Which joint splitter for the Omega
Post by: Varche on 30 October 2007, 15:25:49

I am going to change my steering idler arm soon and cannot find either of my ball joint splitters so will have to buy one.

For jobs like changing the steering idler arm which joint splitter is recomended?

That is far cheaper than the Snap On one I bought a few years back, my 2.8i Capri used to eat them >:( ;D

I used the Scissor type and they are far better than the fork type.
