Buy, Rent, or Borrow a pitman arm puller and a tie rod end puller (or pickle fork).  It turns it into a five minute job.

Advance auto parts loans the tool for free, just put down a deposit. The hardest part of it is finding a socket big enough, I used vice grips. Also when you put the new one on make sure you line it up right, it should only fit on one way you do not need to force it.

Harbor Freight has the puller for around $5

Get a long pipe to put on your rachet for leverage.
