On Ford gears, thread point of roll pin remover tool (T78P-3504-N) into roll pin in ball joint nut. Tighten tool finger tight. Pull pin by working slide hammer. Use caution as tool point is fragile. If pinion was not removed, place gear on bench to prevent gear teeth damage.
On FWD models, if pinion was not removed, turn pinion against right turn stop. On all models, push rack out to expose several teeth. Hold rack with adjustable wrench and remove tie rod assemblies.
