Thank you. I have a pretty good assortment of hand tools, but don't have a pickle fork. Will I need a set of pickle forks so I can get the right size? Do I need a helper to back the joint with a big hammer while I hold and strike the pickle fork? It looks like I might need 3 arms for some of this steering stuff. What about the ball joint and spindle replacement, are there special tools required for that part?
