Hold on...your confusing me, are we talking the lower ball joint that has 3 solid rivits and the pinch bolt...or are you talking the upper tie rod end?
In any case...to remove the lower ball joint you simply take out the pinch bolt and knock off the three rivits and replace them with grade eight bolts and new ball joint. If your talking upper tie rod, you loosen the top bolt and use 2 hammers...brace one against the side of the knuckle and whack from the opposite side...and it pops free very easily.
