hey guys, i'm having a hell of a time getting this steering knuckle seperated from the lower A-arm, its just not coming off! I just wanted to know where i can get a wider ball joint seperator fork from? (pickle fork?) if i had a wider/thicker one, i'm confident that i'd have this thing off by now! hah - autozone doesn't even have a wider/thicker one FOR RENT! .... not sure about napa or Pep .... or even Advance yet (tho i doubt advance has it) - does anyone have any tips for me?

thanks!

not sure about the fork, but here's a trick for popping out ball joints. take 2 hammers and hit them on each side of the ball joint at the same time. as long as you hit the hammers at the same time, the ball joint will pop free. you don't have to beat it up, a good tap gets it popped out.

could i use a large puller?

thanks

edit: i mean a two or three-jaw puller
