I haven't used my pickle fork. I don't want to destroy the rubber boot on the TRE. I want to take it off with a compression tool. I had an old TRE removal tool in my toolbox and I broke the tip that grabs the steering arm.

Ha ha... I just did and it worked, but after I got the drag link off I noticed that I bent the stud 
I unscrewed the rod from the other side. Not gonna mess with that side. I will screw the new rod onto that side (with plenty of anti-seize) and when I go to azone to return the tool I will buy the new drag link.

You should have asked Jen and I to help. We are experts.

Before you have Kelly and Jennifer over to help you do your tie rods make sure you already have them. I could not find a drag link for the 80 anywhere in San Antonio. Cavender's had to order one special out of Houston though it will be here tomorrow morning.
I know how Kelly and Jennifer operate. They don't mess around so make sure you have all of your parts ready to go ahead of time or else there could be adverse consequences when they find out there might be a delay!
