Counting the turns worked. I have one of those pickle fork things - looks similar to a short tuning fork. I thought it was for taking off ball joints. We just did what Mike said to do - bang the fuck out of it with my 10# mini sledge. did the trick.

The truck is fixed. The steering wheel may need a tweak in a day or so but he did the work faster than swapping out those two batteries over the winter! Giggle

No need for an alignment. We did the rod that only affected the steering wheel, not the one that affects the tires. Inner tie rod I think it is called.

We did the work together. We're greasy, dirty and the shower felt like heaven. I'm exhausted and I just want to chill for the night.
