Jeff, Thanks for clarifying this tie rod issue.
One more tip, I used a fork type tie rod end separator tool I found at Discount Auto Parts ($12.00) along with an open end wrench to take up some slop and had no trouble removing the old tie rod ends studs from the steering arms.

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
