Message instead, use a pitman arm puller. Pickle forks are easy to use but they can damage the grease boot. Lift both wheels off the ground to avoid the sway bar binding the suspension. Have new cotter pins available, used ones like to snap.....especially if the car is from a salty area. Be gentle with the ABS sensor.

*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to impolitely tell me how wrong I am :)
