If it doesn't want to come out the only viable way is to use a pickle fork. It WILL tear up the tie rod so go ahead and get new ones before you do the install.

O'Reillys and Autozone sell them. I already checked to be sure. So I would imagine just about any auto parts store will have them.

no i meant what is the parts called?
because i went in and ask if they have the bearings for the top mount strut and they don't have it :[
they don't even know what it is...
sorry if i'm a noob :[
