Tie rod replacement
I'm replacing everything from the pitman arm to the left outer tie rod end. I just ordered the parts & they should be here in 3-5 days. In the meantime, are there any special tools I need to do this job?

You can use tie rod tools to pop them loose. OR, loosen the nuts and then smack the SIDE of the joint with a BFH and with a couple hits it should drop apart. We're talking 5#baby sledge, not a framing hammer.
