I would stay away from pickle forks. Also, if you don't mind not replacing the UCA and jsut replace the ball joint boot the thread below talks about replacing tie rod end boots which should be similar to the UCA boot.

Tie Rod R&R - whole thing or just the end?

I also use a tool by OTC called a tie rod separator OTC7315. It does not do the damage a pickle fork will do. Thread above shows the tool and where you can get this tool. If you google it you may find a cheaper place.
