Good deal. Yeah the pickle fork has been ground down in the front for clearance on bmw ball joints and you can see how much it's gotten used by the mushrooming at the back of it. It made VERY quick work of the lower control arms on the front end the other day. I had both sides done, along with the sway bar end links, in a little over an hour. I would hammer the fork in and then jack up the handle with the floor jack (leave the nut on the top of the threads of ball joint). Would pop out easily no fuss, no muss.

Now that I think about it though the hammer might be a Harbor Freight jobbie.
