Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I need to pull the ball jints in my 2000 lux. I have a bal joint puller, but as yet cannot fathom how it works without raping the rubber boots. Copuld some please explain this to me, pref with a picture, it would be much appreciated.

Mark.

I'm only guessing but I would have thought that needing a ball joint puller you'd replace the joints anyway. The only other way I've done it ages ago was to put a chock under that arm the ball joint was in, leave the nut on the thread and give a good sharp hit. May not be the best way but at the time it worked a treat.

i've got a ball joint puller, the one with the prong and the screw, just wondering where exactly to place it in order to save the joint and boot.

Have you tried the twin hammers method yet?
