Low-profile U-wrench for inner tie rods

Slips over the inner tie rod and turns it in place, so the outer tie rod stays on the car. The low-profile U reaches into the gap you actually have, and the teeth bite the smooth cylinder end instead of skating off it.

Split-hub steering knuckle spreader

Slides into the pinch-bolt slot on the strut-to-hub clamp and opens it a few millimetres at a time, so the strut comes out without a hammer anywhere near the knuckle. Double-ended, so the same block fits the bigger upper split hub and the lower ball-joint seat.
