    Can someone point me to an affordable ball joint removal tool that works for lower front control arm S4 B6?

    I have one that looks like this:

    I'll have to see if it's the exact one I have when I get back home.

    I have a JTC 1258. It has a 28mm jaw width instead of 23mm for the tool I referred to earlier.

    The bad part is that it looks like they no longer sell the tool I have. You may have to go with a universal ball joint separator. I don't recommend the pickle fork since it didn't work for me.

    Also, with the separator you should be prepared to replace any control arm that you wield the tool on. I cracked every one of the balljoints I separated at the base of the threads.
