How do I get this separated?
Working on the front spindle lift kit. I need to get the steering arm off. Look at the picture. How do I get it separated where the red arrows are?

Re: How do I get this separated?
Sometimes you can just whack it with a hammer to make it pop loose.
I picked up a pickle fork from Napa for $10.00. It's got a tapered shaft that gets real tight when you tighten the nut on it. |

Well you can use a fork and hammer about where you have the arrows, or put the nut back on and use a block of wood on that and smack the hell out of the stud with a hammer.

A pickle fork and hammer....or you can try putting the nut back on enough to engage the threads fully but not so much the threads are sticking out and whack it with a hammer.
Or use a block of wood..... |

Re: How do I get this separated?
If you don't have a pickle fork for removing tie rod ends I would put the bolt back through the spindle for leverage, spray some WD40 or Kroil on the threads, put the castle nut on backwards with the teeth pointing in and the base of the nut flush with the end of the bolt. Give it a love tap with a hammer but not too much as it will mess up the threads on the bolt. If you could have someone pulling on the tie rod at the same time it will help.
