I'm looking to "pop" the ball joint where it connects the knuckle to the control arm, not to replace. If you use the "pickle fork" you will end up replacing the ball joints.

get that fork looking tool at harbor freight.
These are widely available, and very cheap. I bought that one for $5.
There is actually a special Honda version of that tool, but the generic ones work just fine.
You might try to Google "ball joint lifter"

I was gonna get the Honda tool. It cost around 150 bucks from Majestic and they are on back order with no idea on wait time. I used a BFH with caution 2 weeks ago when I replaced my rear hub bearings.
