For the tie rod I use this exact tool:

For the LCA balljoint I use a small, heavy hammer and smack the knuckle @ the balljoint stud area until it breaks loose. Dont use a pickle fork unless you plan on replacing the balljoint because it will most likely tear up the boot or seperate the boot from the balljoint.
