Now for the outside tie rod end: With the wheel off, remove the cotter key from the tie rod bolt. Remove the nut that holds it to the strut. With a tie rod removal tool (pickle fork) wedge the tool between the tie rod end and the strut and pound the end of the tool with a hammer. This will properly remove the tie rod end from the strut.
