I prefer the one suggested by Ray but whatever you do DONT use a fork like this one:
Tie Rod Separator

Good luck!

What you need is a BFPB(BIG F****N PRY BAR). When I had to remove my diff for gears this is what my brother inlaw brought to use who is an ex mechanic, it is basically about 3 feet long with a flat slightly curved end the other is pointed and it is about an inch in diameter or more. Both ball joints were done in less than a minute. If you saw how easy this was you would crack up.

and no gouged boots.
