Usually too late by then!
I broke 3 of the conventional scissor type ball joint separators before investing in the one i linked to above and even that struggled! Hell of a bang when it finally did separate and that was after driving around for a fortnight on the rough roads by me with the nut undone a couple of turns in the hope the vibration would loosen it
no such luck though!
The beauty of the one i linked to is you can adjust it so the jaws are parallel before applying pressure with the screw that makes the jaws move. That means the pin is more likely to come out of the taper straight, rather than being pushed into the side with the conventional scissor type, which obviously puts more resistance on the pin.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
