inner tie rod removal

im trying to replace my inner tie rod but how the hell do you get it off? ive got a puller but you cant get it on teh tie rod stud, the stabilizer bar is in the way. is the only way to get the inners off by using a pickle fork?

 

I used a huge crowbar and it popped right off


And boom goes the dynamite.

 

lol i went and got a pickle fork.

 

sometimes the correct tool for the job doesnt work. haha

 

this is true lol

 

for me it took a pickle fork, a big freakin hammer, and a friend.

 

use the fork and alot of umph. if not spray with pb nut blaster or wd40 and hit again..should pop out no prob
