That’s what I did after the separator quit moving the bearing. Then I started hitting pry bars and big screw drivers to push it off. Seemed kinda...

If you have a ball joint fork that is close, you could always "open" it up a little.

I have a couple different ball joint forks like in the first link. The biggest I have will just start over the shaft. I think it’s the biggest I have...

The "wedge" is the way to get it done. I have an assortment of ball joint separators. I don't remember which one I use but, here is a link to the...

It is good practice to make sure, that's for sure! I have seen well intended lubricants and sealers cause a lot of problems due to incompatibility....

I didn’t think of Vaseline. That would work well. I keep some in the shop to grease o-rings. The service manual just says something like “sticky...
