I got the first bolt off but the driver side one will not come off
I have beat it with a sledge hammer and ggot a pickle fork to pry it off but no luck
any help?????!!!!

 

Had to do this two days ago. Go to Autozone and get a tie rod puller (kinda looks like a clamp with a bolt running through it). Put it on, tighten the bolt, and pull that sucker right off.

 

x2, it will pop that thing right out of there.

 

pickle forks suck. pitman arm puller are just big TRE pullers and they'll get the job done.

 

Screw that. Get a propane torch and cook it off.

I used a sawzall on mine.

 

x2 on the torch, i like fire... or a plasma cutter...metabo is cool too, it sparks

 

Thanks guys, I went to auto zone and got that tire rod puller and poped that bitch right offThe stabilizer is a must have upgrade if your always on the trail

 

How much was it to swap the 3.4 in there, I have a 95 and I hate that 3.0!

 

Puller. Buy one and you will thank yourself everytime you do front end work.
Its so easy just to tighten the sucker on, and pop shes off.

Instead of ramming a pickle fork in there (forget reusing the boot on that joint) or just smashing it with a sledge..

 

Tighten the puller up to a bunch, then tap it the side of the hole with two hammers at the same time. It should pop right out. Be careful about applying too much heat to the tie rod (not tiRe rod) as it has been heat-treated and sees a lot of force- you don't want to weaken it any.
