My bad, I must have confused this thread with that OTHER MR2 forum.

Here is an example pic of a pitman arm pullerhttp://www.reesetiresupply.com/index...OD&ProdID=5799

Remember you can get it for only $8 at Harbor Freight. I could not find it on thier website, but I bought one about 2 weeks ago.

On HF's website is this puller kit:http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=92882

I also bought thier spring compressor tool (compatible with strut style suspension), for a whopping $10. I will give it a try this weekend when I replace my stock springs and struts. Don't konw if the spring compressor tool is any good or not (HF tools are not exactly top quality, and I don't buy wrenches from them), however, the puller was good enough to pop all of my really stubborn ball joints.
