Yep you need the tool just made for that. Its a fork with a wedge shape so as you hit it with a hammer it will pull it apart.

its a 2 prong fork you can pick up at any parts store just ask for a tie rod fork and youll need a big hammer to smash the biatch!

got the springs in with out taking the tie rod off or using a spring compressor. i just used the jack handle and compressed it with support from the a arm. omfg!!! the stang looks freaking sweet. i have a .5 inch clearance coming into my driveway (has one of those neighborhood gutters)

If you would of mentioned that you were installing springs I would of told you that its not necessary to remove tie rod. Glad that you didnt go through the trouble.
