Tie Rod Removal tool?

[FLOBALOB]

Any special techniques/tool for removing the tie rod ends out of the hub? After you've undone the first few threads the ball joint drops and it just spins.

Get a trolley jack underneath the rod end and jack up until there is a lttle bit of pressure on it , it then stays still so that you can spin it right off. If you're jack doesnt go high enough, put something between it and the rod end to fill the gap, we used the slider bit out of an axle stand.
