Tie Rod Ends

I need to get them off so I can replace the decayed booties over the end of the rack. And the rubber that holds grease around ball joints is shot although the joint itself is actually ok. Main concern is keeping grit dirt etc out of the rack.

to be honest I've made that same arugument you made for the last 10 years. But whenever the weather is bad I won't drive it so crap doesn't get in there.

tks for the interest
