Thanks! I was under there this morning looking at all that.
You guys are right. I think then a good idea is to spray those bolts/nuts with PB and let it soak.

I have new tie rod ends and steering rod for it. The new steering rod is a full 1 inch dia.
I still have that other panel with the same old style tie rods that
match what I`ll be taking off. I`d like to use that one in case
the other needs parts or replacing. It (tie rods) are frozen at the moment.
