You can smash a ball joint fork in there - not recommended or source an appropriate ball joint splitter - note many do not have a wide enough gape to go around the ball joint.

The Part you require is - ITC001BJC

I paid ~£32 delivered from Bluepoint.

Phone - (01536) 413904

Yes, the 24mm looks like it would do it.

But, it is highly likely you will damage the protective rubber boot around the ball joint.

Will the bluepoint tool prevent the damage to the rubber boot?
