I'm getting ready to remove my OEM steering stabilizer, but am wondering what size pickle fork would work best. I went to the local Kragen, and they had 4 different sizes.

I did a search but couldn't find anything.

 

it should just slide right off man i didnt know they needed a fork for them i say ask them if you could take them outside and see what one fits it and get that one they should let you do that

 

Slide right off? Haha! Gawd....I've never had that luck. They're supposed to be torqued down pretty darn tight. And, considering how long yours has been on......!!!

Any fork big enough to slide over the bolt will do. You just have to break the surface tension. And, that's hard part!

 

3/4" between the tines worked fine for me. The handle length doesn't matter, but nothing over 1' or it will be awkward.

 

Yeah, uh, no. lol

I had to break out the BFH and the pickle fork when I took mine off.

 

well the one on my sas front came right off! and it has been sitting for about 3 years outside lol i guess i just got really really really lucky then maybe i shgould replace the one thats on my truck then lol

 

I got by with the bigger size they had at advance auto, which i think was 3/4"? It was signifigantly easier, with the pickle fork, than I had expected.

 

thanks for the advice everyone. I borrowed a buddy's 3/4" fork and took a BFH to it. It came off after a few good hard hits.

 

I hit it with a 8 Oz. hammer and wiggled it to get it out.

 

Some get lucky, I guess. I've had to cut mine off before.
