dscf1558.jpg Next up is the tie rod end still attached to the knuckle.  Remove the cotter pin, then the castle nut.  The tie rod end is like the ball joint - it's tapered and held in there by pressure.  Do not beat on it directly.  Put the castle nut on backwards and beat that.  Used a lot of penetrating oil too.  When it breaks free, let it hang.
