did all 4 bj in my mk2. pickle fork and leverage would not work - I spent 2 to 3 hours sledgehammering on my poor mr2. tried pitman arm puller from checkers free to rent with deposit and had them all done in about an hour.
for some reason pickle fork did not work - has worked on all hondas and other cars I have tried b4. save yourself some trouble and get the pitman arm puller
