 With a tool like this Ebay #274092427200 you can separate the tie rod end =
all by yourself.=C2=A0 Just replaced the boots on my Bugeye with this exact=
 same tool.=C2=A0 Just keep cranking the bolt down and when you think somet=
hing is going to break the ball joint usually pops out with a bang.=C2=A0 R=
emember to count the turns when you remove the tie rod end.=C2=A0 You may h=
ave to still do a front end alignment, but that's easy.=C2=A0 Just take a s=
tring and compare the tire edges in the front to the back until you get 0-1=
/8th inch wider in the back. Good luck.
