Whether you use a pickle fork or just smacking the taper housing of the knuckle, the minimum head size for the hammer is 3 pounds. Without the fork, hit it directly, do not put a sacrifice between the hammer and the joint, that will only absorb the energy that is necessary to deform the taper and disjoin the tapered jam fit. With the fork, you still need the 3 lb maul to make up for the mass of the fork.
