smack the part around the end and then  hit the damn thing like a man.  they are basicly a press fit  once you tighten the nut on them.. smacking around it  helps loosen  it up..

Its called a ball joint press/tie rod end separator- like $10 for a made in china special at Harbor Freight that works great, or on the loan a tool program at vatozone.  Like KYOTA said, a pickle fork will tear the boots and shouldn't be used for anything other than serving pickles...
