Do you need one of those special forked air hammer attachments
to get the tie rod ends loose from the the spindle? ???

You can improvise if you don't have a fork.
Byhammering on the side of the tie rod hole of the spindle and beat on the tie rod stud, many different ways without the fork.
If you have never done it or had someone show you how to do it without the tool I suggest you rent one from the parts store or just buy the tool. Somehardware stores have auto tools for rent as well.
You can get a fork that you hammer no air hammer needed.
I have a Lisile Tools (sp)set that has two forks and twoarbours, one for use with an air hammer andone for use with a hammer.
I think I paid $30. for the set.

No it's not needed. Take the carter pin out, nut off and hit the top of bolt and it will come out. I've done it a few times, never any problems.

I've been wacking at it with a hammer, I'll try a little harder.

Thanks

I hope you screwed the nut back on loosely while whacking on the threaded end. Easy to booger up the threads.
