If they are anything like my steering tie rods and drag link they will pop out with a couple good smacks on the housings, etc.
The TM just says "remove two self-locking nuts" and "remove torque rod"
The prescribed tool list:
General Mechanics Tool kit, jack, jack stands, goggles, torque wrench, multiplier, socket set, and a "Wrecking Bar"
Apparently *something* is getting wrecked. Might be the truck..... might be you.
