The ends of the tie rod housing has a large slot & pin through it. I got the pins out and got one side off by using a thick chisel & vice grips & un-threaded the slotted end. I can't get the other end off. I twisted my chisel like a corkscrew. Is there a special tool for doing this, or do I need to buy a huge flat screwdriver & turn it with a pipe wrench?

Mac, Matco, and S&K also have them. Craftmat has them listed in the catalog and online, but they don't necessarily carry them in the stores. They don't in the one here, anyway. The tool truck or if your local parts store carries S$K might be the best bet.
