KD-Tools sells a really nice "Tie Rod" end remover. Looks like an adjustable arm gear puller. There is also a cup on the end to keep the forcing screw on the stud. http://www.kd-tools.com/3533.htm

David, Dave and all,

@david:I used some tool with adjustable arms this morning but the adjustability meant that the arms moved and slipped off under pressure. as dave arthur said (thanks dave) the bentley request tool us1014 which is non-adjustable. problem is that i have to buy that online and pay $60 and up for it and wait a week or so to get it. I am just wondering if anyone had luck with a cheaper, more generic tool like the one from kragen i linked. FLorian
