...is there a way to seperate them without a special puller tool?

Trying to swap steering racks.

 

I might be wrong, but dont they just screw off? Or are you talking about the boot part?

 

im talking about seperating them at the very end from the wheel itself. There is a nut on the top held in place by a cotter pin. I pulled the pin and loosened the nut, but it doesn't move. The manual says use a puller, but I'm trying to find a way to do it without the tool.

 

A two jaw bearing puller is cheap and makes this job a snap. Those ends are on tight!

big mallet....Would that work? It did for me.
