drag link ends

I was wondering how hard it is to replace the draglink/ ends. I noticed today that my jeep is pulling hard to the right. When I got home the draglink end that connects to the pass side knuckle was smoking. It probably isnt greased but im sure that the link is shot because the grease boot is all but falling of. I was just wondering if you need any special tools like a press or fork to get the links on and off. thanks.

You will need to replace the whole drag link. If the tie rod end at the pitman arm is bad, replace that too. To remove it from the knuckle, remove cotter pin, remove castle nut, bang on drag link to get it loose.

"smoking" as in real smoke coming off it?
