Tie rods, and a arm removal

[jal232]

Whats the easiest way to get tie rods out of steering flag, and ball joint ends on a arms and tie rods out of spindles...Im struggling with this pair for some reason??

well you can run down to your local autozone and pick up a tie rod or ball joint puller which is cheap but there is a downside to it
it usually destroys the rubber boot on the ball joint
other than that you can get a special tool that wont do that from iShock or there are a couple other companies that make it but i think its a little more expensive

Leave the bolt on just so it is flush with the threads, lube it up and hit it with a hammer. Once you get it started they come off easy
