I have repaired it. At least temporarily. I removed the tie rod end/ ball joint and put it on the tie rod I found an angle I could turn the tie rod and it can be fully turned from side without having to straighten it. The bend is at the flexing joint of the tie rod so I thing this is a better solution. I will prefer a replacement and instal it as soon as possible. I will probably replace the tie rod end as well. Getting it off was a bear. I rented a Pittman tool, two tie rod removal tools and a pickle fork. Then went to tractor supply and got a three arm gear puller. The Pittman tool was too small so I used the gear puller, heat and a small sledge hammer. After about. An hour I broke it loose. I have to buy a new castle but for it tomorrow morning but I am back in business.
