also concerning the HF junk tool, it will not fit on the ball joint to pop the spindle free... too thin an opening.

I have the Peachparts tool, and it's awesome. I also have the HF tool... it's popped some tie rods free, but beware of it's ffrailties... the autozone tool is nearly useless on any 123 bolts, no room to swing the bolt, and the opening is too wide...
