I tried my small Highlift jack to pull the wheel drives. It turned out to be very easy, I didn't get the feeling that I was causing undue stress to anything.
I pound a large chisel into the slot on the inner/lower side to open things up and reduce the friction. Much easier than the factory solution.
Now all I need to come up with is a puller for the tie rods. The design of the factory part is fairly unique, the design makes getting a gear puller in there difficult and I have not come up with any clever and non-destructive substitutes.

Paul,
Is this the tool:

I was just thinking it would be a help to have a list published somewhere of off-the-shelf tools that substitute for the specialized Pinz tools.
