Not sure why I said ball joint, I meant tie rod end. I haven't done repairs on tie rods or ball joints, so I'm learning the terminology as things fail on the car. My apologies for any confusion!

Thanks Bill.

So, for the tie rod ends, I was able to get the castle nut off last night. I am having a really hard time getting the jamb nut off though. I'm trying to tun it clockwise (righty-tighty) to get it to spin closer to the middle of the car and then I should be able to put the pickle fork in and pull the tie rod end off, right?

I tried putting a 13mm wrench on the part where it is square and a 7/8" on the nut and I couldn't break it free. I'm going to pickup a 22mm wrench today and try again. I've got it soaking in PB blaster and I'm considering picking up a torch to heat the nut up. Any other ideas are very welcome.
