Next up is the tie rod end still attached to the knuckle. Remove the cotter pin, then the castle nut. The tie rod end is like the ball joint - it's tapered and held in there by pressure. Do not beat on it directly. Put the castle nut on backwards and beat that. Used a lot of penetrating oil too. When it breaks free, let it hang.
