Hello all,
I wanted to refresh my rear suspension by replacing all of the links. I did the subframe bushings a few years back so now it's time to address the links. One thing that I have run into concerns the removal of the real tie rod link. The FSM calls for the use of a special puller 201-589-01-33-00. Since I do not have this tool currently available I wanted to know what your experience was. Is it necessary or can a tie rod pickle fork be used instead? Any other alternative methods of removal?

Any advise regarding the replacement of the links, is there a sequence that needs to be followed, of simply remove and replace one at a time until all four are done?

Thanks in advance
