We used to use TE4, but TE3 fits better.

The forks will probably rip the boots apart, so that's only a good option if replacement is part of your plan.

Precisely, I'm on my second supercheap splitter, the first broke from someone trying to split without the bashing, this one, the thread is getting a little sad, but still work, haven't been able to find anywhere that sells a quality one yet but

Tapered ones work for removal and replace, but ai'n real flash if you want to reuse the tie rod end and IF the boots were good, they wont be when your finished

There about the good ones but they come at a price of around 150 bucks ABW make a good one so do kinchrome

why bother new ends are cheap as **** not worth replaceing the boot un less the joints almost new
