MOTHERTRUCKERS there are many ways to do this i just stated one way. your way is just as good if not better, if you have a fully equiped shop, but alot of people don't. the way i listed works fine, i know because i've done it. he's most likley not wanting to replace his ball joints and using the pickle fork its easy to screw up the boots if your not exactly sure what your doing thats why i and alot of other people just hit the spindle to seperate, and the only reason i said to separate the top one is because the last time i did it one of my lowers was stuck so bad that i had to take the control arm off and seperate with a sledge (this was after using every other method known to man). and the top ones tend to seperate easier in my opinion.

so either way will work and alot of people prefer the way i have stated.
