Ball joints.

Im going to be putting on some 450r spindles and calipers next weekend and was wondering what kind of ball joint separator tool yall use?? I see them using a motion pro tool in the Clymer manual but its kinda hard to find. :ermm:

I used a small pickle fork I got from an auto parts store. Although, you have to be super careful. I thrashed my ball joints pretty good with the bad boy. I didn't care to much as I was just using it to get my stockers off to put my new aftermarket ones on, but nonetheless I don't think it was the best tool.
I just saw a cool thread on this.....let me find it.
