Tackled the tie rod ends this weekend.
If you don't know when these have been changed and you live in the rust belt I would recommend ordering the rod as well. I, unfortunately, did not.
We mangled the TRE on the left.
- Cut the ball joint housing so a 30mm socket would fit over it in hopes an impact wrench could knock it loose. No luck.
- Cut the ball joint off completely to try and drill it out. No luck.
- Use the notch in the rod to cut a slit in the threads and was finally able to get it free.
Truck was driveable, but I will be taking these apart again when the new rod comes in.

Went wheeling on a new trail. An came across this poor jeep. That snapped an axel. Took about 8 hrs in total. running around an ferrying folks up the trail. With parts an tools. But got it all fixed by around 1am lol.
Used a 4 foot pipe wrench to remove mines along with some heat. What a struggle!
Anyone know what front bumper that is?

Next time don’t remove it. It’s not necessary to access the door components.
