It must have been done before but since I had trouble finding a suitable ball joint splitter I made one fit by grinding away the fork width, the fork arms and the top arm. Works a treat.

Here is the one I started with.

"Special pro-mechanic tool" as Mechanic Marius from Tiktok would say.

Worth a watch if you haven't come across him, very funny.

Not so easy to post a picture you see I don't/won't have a mobile phone, I am not a luddite I can write websites in HTML5 and CSS. but who codes nowadays

If I get a bit of time I shall put up the measurements after grinding.
