Forgot a little tip--take the OUTER tie rod loose, rather than the inner. You can bap it with the BFH instead of using the pickle fork, and save tearing the boot. You'll be removing the lower end of the shock; a good gronk with the foot on the a-arm and you'll manage to clear the upper bj to pop it out; mind the fingers! I use a pry bar. If you have trouble aligning the shock mount going back together, a floor jack has been helpful in the past.

I turn the spindle assy over a pair of 2x4 blocks and knock it out.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
