To add one more to the puller list:
http://www.thetoolnetwork.com/tierod_puller_pt_stw_12616.html
The Stahlwille puller is very compact, will remove A-H steering arms
with the gear in place, & will remove even the tightest arms & tie rod
ends with ease. No danger of doing damage to the delicate steering
housing or gear.
A bit expensive but IMO worth it.
