Tie rod removal
I bent my passenger side Tie rod, so how hard is it to remove and how much for a new one approximately? Thanks in advance.

ok. What do I need the air chisel for? and did you mean a pickle fork? once I get the tie rod end off the rod, do I just unscrew the rod or is there a lock nut I gotta loosen on the inside end?

you can prob press it out with a c-clamp or just hit it with a hammer.
and you will prob. need an alignment after.
